The laboratory must consist of an anteroom and laboratory rooms.
The facility must have gas-impermeable walls, ceilings, and floors.
Air gaps under doors are acceptable for directional airflow.
If the door gaps are sealed, the laboratory suite must not leak gaseous decontamination materials..

Biosafety in the environment involves the prevention and control of plant diseases, animal infestations and illnesses, zoonotic diseases passed from animals to people, genetically modified organisms and their products, and the management of genotypes and invasive species..
BSL-2 laboratories are used to study moderate-risk infectious agents or toxins that pose a moderate danger if accidentally inhaled, swallowed, or exposed to the skin.
Design requirements for BSL-2 laboratories include hand washing sinks, eye washing stations, and doors that close and lock automatically..

The four biosafety levels are BSL-1, BSL-2, BSL-3, and BSL-4, with BSL-4 being the highest (maximum) level of containment.
There are additional specific rules and designations for animal research (ABSL), agricultural research (BSL-Ag), and other types of research..

It is the process of taking both basic program elements and highly technical blocks and arranging them to create a space that is both safe and efficient.
Great lab design solves the riddle of how to incorporate more science into less space while creating architectural and engineering balance..
