We would not do that at Dupont.  Wouldn't the conditioned air coming into the cafeteria be potentially contaminated by air exhausted from the lab?  Something for you and the engineers to consider carefully.  Unless the lab will only be using GRAS substances.  And even then what will be used in the lab when you move on??

I would appreciate your help again with a lab design issue. My fabulous engineering colleagues want to locate a new lab next to a cafeteria, sharing a wall. I do not like this idea. The cafeteria is a full kitchen cafeteria where it will have its own exhaust system right next to the chemical laboratory. Their solution is to have the kitchen exhaust stacks "short" and the chemical lab exhaust stacks "high" to try & eliminate the occurrence of any chemical exhaust being drawn into the kitchen intake. I have objected to this but they want a "regulation" that says they can't do this. My professional judgment isn't enough.

 

Any ideas?
