Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the approved laboratory design guideline?

  Laboratory Design; Approved Guideline— Second Edition This document provides a foundation of information about laboratory design elements and guidance to help define the issues to be considered when designing a clinical laboratory.

• What are the best solutions in designing a typical lab?

  The following identifies the best solutions in designing a typical lab. The laboratory module is the key unit in any lab facility. When designed correctly, a lab module will fully coordinate all the architectural and engineering systems. A well-designed modular plan will provide the following benefits:

• What are the requirements of an enclosed laboratory?

  1. The laboratory shall be completely separated from outside areas (i.e., must be bound by four walls). Having enclosed laboratories will help contain spills, keep unauthorized personnel from entering areas where hazardous operations are performed, etc.

• What are the subsections of the general laboratory design section?

  The subsections of Section 1.0 provide specific guidance on additional critical features of a general laboratory (e.g., fume hoods, hazardous materials storage, and compressed gases.) 1. Designer Qualifications- The designer must have the appropriate professional license in his/her area of expertise.

• Is the Stanford laboratory standard & design guide all inclusive?

  The Stanford Laboratory Standard & Design Guide is not “all inclusive.” It does not cover all regulatory issues nor does it cover all design situations. It is important to note that use practices must be considered during the design process, as they can directly influence how the laboratory will be designed.

• What are the Stanford general design documents ?

  The Stanford General Design Documents section of the Facilities Design Guide (FDG) lists separate stand-alone Stanford documents related to facilities planning, design, and regulatory compliance. These documents are not included in the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) numbered sections of the FDG.

• What format do Stanford documents come in?

  All documents are in PDF format and require Adobe Acrobat Reader unless otherwise noted. The Stanford General Design Documents section of the Facilities Design Guide (FDG) lists separate stand-alone Stanford documents related to facilities planning, design, and regulatory compliance.

• What are the facilities design guidelines?

  Facility Design Guidelines. The Facilities Design Guidelines (FDG) is a set of guideline design documents, technical specifications, and detail drawings to be used by architects, consultants, and contractors in the design and construction of new buildings, infrastructure, and remodeling projects on the Stanford campus.
