Laboratory/Research
Baker Group’s laboratory and research facility experience ranges from clean rooms, teaching laboratories, research laboratories, vivariums, and insectaries. In addition we have completed FDA approved facilities, plant germination chambers, and biosafety level (BSL) laboratories. We understand that these facilities require stable, reliable heating, cooling, ventilation, humidity, and monitoring systems. Our goal is to provide researchers and building owners with a cost-effective level of sophistication, flexibility, and reliability that meets and exceeds their long-term and short-term research needs.
Our specialty is designing, installing and servicing advanced technology spaces for clients including those listed below. For confidentiality, some of our most advanced projects are not listed. Please contact us for an in-depth conversation about our laboratory and research experience.
