Duke University resurrected an outdated chemistry lab building slated for demolition and transformed it into an interdisciplinary hub for research and teaching in engineering, sciences, and social sciences. Research laboratories located on the 3rd floor and basement designed with flexible casework and utilities create opportunity for different types of research. The final result was a combination of Kewaunee’s plug-and-play Enterprise bench system, wood on steel casework, Supreme Air LV hoods, and Interceptor A2 biological safety cabinets. Duke implemented this project’s new standards of lab renovation in other on-going transformation of their campuses.
