Don't miss the I2SL High-Tech Talks Webinar Series Presenting: Butler University's Renovation With Filtered Fume Hoods, 3 Years Later
Rowley, MA (PRWEB) November 16, 2014 -- James Hill and Ken Crooks will co-present “Butler University's Renovation With Filtered Fume Hoods, 3 Years Later” scheduled for Thursday, November 20, 1-2 EST.
In the fall of 2011, Butler University surprised many in the lab design domain by installing 27 filtering fume hoods in their organic chemistry and general chemistry teaching laboratories at Gallahue Hall. The renovation project addressed several shortcomings due to building age and substantial growth within the chemistry program. Now, three years later, the instructors, students, and facilities personnel continue to be thrilled with the performance of the labs and filtering fume hoods.
Join this webinar to:
•Review lessons learned in a fast-track lab renovation project, including changing storage needs, lab bench spacing when occupancy more than doubles, and how to react when a project comes in under budget.
•Assess and plan for the design and operational impacts, both positive and negative, of using filtering fume hoods.
•Calculate the operational costs of tripling the total linear feet of fume hood sash length while significantly reducing the total exhaust.
•Explore feedback from lab users after the project was completed.
