Planning mechanical systems and maintenance
As noted in the discussion of security, science laboratories often contain spaces that work with sensitive intellectual property and hazardous materials—spaces where the general public is not permitted due to confidentiality or public safety concerns.
For low buildings with relatively small floor plates, all the building systems may be located in the penthouse or basement and serviced there.
With that in mind, some universities view school or privately employed maintenance and repair crews as members of the public who may not have free access to all laboratory spaces.
As a result, many lab designs incorporate mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems “outside” of the laboratory proper. Three designs can accommodate this need.

Case Studies: Chemistry Laboratory Expansion
Larger facilities with more than two floors preclude the penthouse strategy.
This concept is similar to the sterile and dirty corridors of hospitals and surgical suites.
These buildings can incorporate an interstitial design where there is another floor for mechanical equipment and maintenance personnel can access only that floor.
However, this scheme approaches twice the cost of a traditional building. A hybrid approach is using an interstitial corridor that intermixes the mechanical spaces with the laboratory spaces.
