Hanson’s Flexible Casework

Doug Quirk & Cori DiDonato

Introduction

In the rapidly evolving world of laboratory science, the ability to adapt is paramount. Laboratories must not only meet the demands of today but also prepare for the unknown challenges of tomorrow. At Hanson Lab Solutions, we specialize in designing adaptable and modular casework that grows alongside your research. A recent conversation between Doug Quirk, Hanson’s Director of Sales, and Cori DiDonato, LabFitOut’ Chief Operating Officer, highlights why modularity and flexibility are key to building future-ready labs.

The Power of Modularity

Modular casework is more than just furniture; it’s an investment in your lab’s future. Hanson’s M-Series workstations allow researchers to seamlessly integrate new equipment, adapt layouts to evolving workflows, and accommodate shifting team sizes. Whether it’s adding storage cabinets or height-adjustable workbenches, Hanson’s modular systems make these changes effortless.

Doug Quirk explains: “Adaptable furniture systems are designed to be flexible, allowing components to be easily rearranged or added as needs change. Hanson’s M-Series line ensures that labs can expand or reconfigure with minimal disruption.”

Planning for the Future

Every research environment evolves, and future-proofing your lab requires thoughtful design. Hanson’s Agility Mobile line offers heavy-duty, mobile benches on casters that can easily accommodate heavy equipment and adapt to changing space requirements. Doug highlights how this approach reduces costs over time: “Our M-Series benches are built with pathways and spaces for future utility connections, eliminating the need for costly renovations as your lab grows.”

Fostering Collaboration and Growth

Modern labs need to support both individual and team-oriented tasks. Hanson’s solutions address this with versatile single-sided and double-sided benches that can be arranged to foster collaboration.

“As research becomes more collaborative, planning for shared workspaces and group meeting areas becomes crucial,” says Doug. “Our products are designed to provide flexibility for teams of all sizes.”

Storage for Evolving Needs

Growth often brings the challenge of managing increased storage demands. Hanson’s modular casework offers solutions for every storage need, from mobile cabinets to specialized storage for controlled environments like cold storage and hazardous materials.

The Key Takeaway

Doug Quirk emphasizes the importance of involving end-users in the lab design process: “Partnering with Hanson and LabFitOut ensures access to a wealth of experience. Together, we provide cost-conscious, future-ready solutions tailored to your lab’s needs.”
