Environmental rooms built around the research
Configurable controlled-temperature rooms for universities and institutional research—supporting experiments, sample storage, and studies that depend on stable environmental conditions.
- Modular
- Flexible room scale
- Multi-temp
- Condition control
- Indoor/outdoor
- Installation options
- Redundant
- Refrigeration option
Room conditions, controls, and construction are confirmed during engineering review.
Let the protocol shape the room
Research environments work best when room geometry, conditions, compartments, monitoring, and future change are planned around the program from the start.
Conditions
Adjustable
Define the temperature, humidity, and lighting profile for the protocol.
Geometry
Custom
Configure room size, shape, metal finish, doors, and workflow.
Compartments
Multi-room
Separate studies or conditions within one planned structure.
Change
Rebuildable
Use modular construction to support future relocation or expansion.
Protection
Optional
Evaluate monitoring, alarms, and redundant refrigeration needs.
A research environment designed as one system
Insulated enclosure, refrigeration, controls, and modular construction configured together
Polyurethane panels
Four-inch insulated panels create the enclosure while preserving usable interior space through strong insulation performance.
4-inch construction
Environmental controls
Electronic controls coordinate humidity, lighting, and temperature around the research requirement.
Multi-parameter
Dependability options
High-quality refrigeration components and optional redundant refrigeration support applications that need added protection.
Redundant option
Configure the environment around the program
Custom geometry and multiple compartments support different research functions without forcing them into one fixed room format.
Turn the protocol into a room brief
The clearer the operating conditions, workflow, facility constraints, and future needs, the more precisely engineering can configure the environment.
Define the protocol
Document conditions, duration, samples, equipment, and access.
Map the facility
Review footprint, utilities, placement, doors, and workflow.
Configure the room
Align panels, compartments, refrigeration, controls, and finishes.
Plan for change
Consider monitoring, redundancy, relocation, and future expansion.
Proven, leading-edge refrigeration
Recognized by Life Sciences Review · Trusted across labs, research & pharma
“I have been installing Norlake Scientific rooms for well over 25 years. Their engineering support, overall design of refrigeration equipment, controls, and flexible panel configuration makes installations go smoothly on the job site. As a field technician, I feel Norlake is on the leading edge of refrigeration design and controls.”
Academic research room FAQ
Answers to common questions about controls, configuration, modular construction, and future flexibility.
- What environmental variables can a research room control?
- Enviro-Line research rooms can be configured with electronic controls for humidity, lighting, and temperature. Final ranges and control requirements are confirmed during engineering review.
- Can the room be built in a custom size or shape?
- Yes. Enviro-Line structures can be configured in custom sizes, shapes, and metal finishes to fit the facility and research workflow.
- Can one project include multiple compartments?
- Yes. Multiple compartments can be configured when separate research environments require different conditions.
- Can the room be expanded or relocated?
- The modular panel construction can be disassembled and rebuilt, which supports future expansion or relocation subject to site and equipment conditions.
- Is redundant refrigeration available?
- Yes. Optional redundant refrigeration can be configured for added protection against system failure.
