FLEXILABS
The need for GSK to respond to the new and changing R&D environment led to the development of the FlexiLab concept - a completely flexible laboratory design solution.
Scientists were often impeded by laboratories with fixed furniture, fume cupboards and a rigid services infrastructure with little scope for change.
The novel but fully tested FlexiLab concept allows the laboratory workspace to constantly evolve to respond to GSK's new and changing R&D environment. The need is for a scientific work space that can be rapidly installed and be reconfigured simply when required. The FlexiLab concept provides this with minimal disruption.
FlexiLab principles are endorsed by GSK and being implemented on a global basis. FlexiLabs are being successfully applied throughout all GSK European Operations R&D facilities.
The timescales for installing these projects are extremely tight and involve working in conjunction with a number of other contractors on site. Due to Stortford Interiors' successful high spec, high quality and well-managed installation, work is on going with GSK on this particular project across their numerous laboratories.
Stortford Interiors has been the major contractor for the installation of the ceilings and walls of the FlexiLab system at several GSK sites, including their largest one-off laboratory project - the Triple FlexiLab at their site in Stevenage. The FlexiLab concept uses high spec products based around Komfort Polar silicone glazed full glass partitions, including glass doors and Burgess metal pan ceilings.
Walls & Flooring
Floor to ceiling glass wall partitions divide the laboratory and write-up areas.
Wall Features: • 12mm toughened glass • Frameless construction • Quick installation and reconfigurable
Floor Features: • Carpeted write-up • Welded vinyl floor in laboratory
Modular Ceiling
Fully accessible plank and beam ventilated ceiling
Features: • GSK modified ceiling grid with additional structural support • Service pods can be supported from ceiling beams in any position • Pressurised supply air ceilings voids • 2700mm optimal ceiling height • 1200mm width clear access into ceiling void • Supports light fittings • Facilitates services installation and maintenance
