Science + Technology

The laboratory is a powerful tool of scientific inquiry, both as the site of unprecedented discovery and as the training ground for a new generation of scientists. The Freelon Group designs innovative environments for research, teaching and animal husbandry - laboratories that skillfully foster the unbridled pursuit of scientific excellence.

Research Labs
Contemporary research laboratory design is undergoing pronounced transformation, demanding great adaptability in spatial organization and infrastructure. Bench space has become less a priority and the requirement for specialized rooms for equipment and processes is increasing. At Freelon, we have the experience to tread the fine line between addressing today's necessity and accommodating tomorrow's innovation. We understand the future of laboratory design and the opportunities it presents for our clients.

Teaching Labs
The teaching laboratory is a vehicle for learning; one that seamlessly integrates pedagogy and scientific exploration in a stimulating, richly interactive environment. It is a knowledge-based setting that embraces learning while encouraging fruitful student-teacher interaction. It is also flexible, readily adaptable to evolving curricular focus and changing teaching models. With over 20 years of experience in the design of teaching labs and almost 15 years of involvement with Project Kaleidoscope, we possess a broad understanding of learning environments of the future for science, technology engineering, and m

Animal Facilities
An essential component of research is the use, confinement and care of laboratory animals. As such, animal facilities present profound scientific, technical, and ethical challenges. Animal facilities vary widely in composition, serving a variety of species of differing scientific utility and scale, each requiring distinct procedures for proper husbandry, security and biological isolation. Thus, these areas require an extraordinary degree of specialization. Animal facilities are also subject to rigorous scrutiny from the research community, outside regulatory agencies and, with increasing frequency, a concerned public. Our wealth of experience offers sure-handed guidance in successfully addressing the complex challenges demanded.
