Scientific discovery demands environments where precision is constant, and reliability is uncompromised. From teaching labs to advanced research centers, we design and commission mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and technology systems to safeguard accuracy, control conditions, and enable innovation. At Cator Ruma, we have national experts who make science possible while actively participating in national and local organizations dedicated to advancing sustainable laboratory design.

Our process is collaborative, responsive, and informed by decades of work in research and technology environments. We engage with owners, architects, universities, and scientists to create labs that are precise, flexible, and resilient. By anticipating future needs and evolving technologies, we ensure facilities remain at the forefront of discovery.

Laboratory design offers a unique opportunity for sustainable design in an industry known for its high energy consumption. We believe labs can be sustainable and align with owners’ energy and sustainability goals, as well as state and local guidelines.
