University of West Scotland – Edzell Building

Lab UK (Furniture) Ltd are specialists in manufacturing quality laboratory and educational furniture.
One of Lab UK's most recent projects, completed in September 2019, was the Edzell Building at the University of West Scotland.
Situated within the new, state-of-the-art campus at Hamilton International Park, the Edzell building aimed to deliver a modern, collaborative and connected experience for students.
Using Trespa TopLab 16mm Base, Lab UK furnished 26 rooms at the university within two different types of labs; teaching labs and cleaning labs, each distinguished by the colour of the worktop.
Teaching labs were fitted with Trespa TopLab Base S0-015 speckle pastel grey, and cleaning labs in E0-015 pastel grey. All shelving within the rooms was also manufactured using Trespa TopLab Base, as the client needed the reagent shelving to be easy to clean.
Trespa TopLab Base is ideal for worktops and cabinetry where frequent cleaning is expected as the surface is not adversely affected by moisture. Many educational facilities fit-out laboratories with TopLab Base due to its exceptional impact, scratch and wear resistance.
Zoe Hardman at Lab UK (Furniture) Ltd told us:
"Our brief from the customer for UWS was for multiple research labs with worktops created to resist impact and general wear & tear. They asked specifically for Trespa.
Lab UK chose Trespa TopLab Base due to its hard-wearing properties and ability to stand up to frequent cleaning within a robust laboratory environment."
