Booknews
Rather than an architectural or engineering manual on laboratory design, this volume explains lab procedures to a broad audience of architects, engineers, industrial hygienists, and other involved in planning or managing such facilities. Formerly with the US Environmental Protection Agency, a consultant in hi-tech building design provides guidance on such crucial topics as deciding whether to renovate, lease, or build new space; designing "facility sustainable" labs; the architect/engineer relationship; strategic master planning; storage of chemicals; and indoor air quality. Replete with charts, checklists, sample forms, diagrams, plans, and b&w photos of common lab instruments. Lacks references. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
