About this asset

This mobile fume cupboard is a Revit family featuring a glazed enclosure, lower storage cabinet, and castor wheels for flexibility. The unit is a self-contained, mobile workstation designed for laboratory environments. It features a transparent glazed upper enclosure with a sliding sash for containment and safety. The base consists of a robust metal cabinet providing integrated storage with a single drawer and double-door compartment. The work surface is finished in a neutral, chemical-resistant material, while the base sits on heavy-duty castors to allow for reconfigurable lab layouts. The overall aesthetic is strictly functional and industrial, utilising a palette of grey and white to integrate seamlessly into clinical or educational settings.

The download is a 1.1 MB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family functions as a mechanical equipment component. Users can place the unit directly into floor plans or sections to define laboratory layouts. The model supports standard visibility settings, allowing for control over detail levels in both 2D documentation and 3D views. As a mobile object, it is ideal for space planning exercises where equipment needs to be repositioned to suit specific research requirements or varying laboratory workflows.

This asset is essential for the design of university science laboratories, hospital research wings, and private industrial testing facilities. It is frequently employed during the schematic and design development stages to verify space requirements and clearance for hazardous material handling. Designers often pair this unit with fixed benching, chemical storage cabinets, and specialized ventilation systems.
