Nationwide Children’s Hospital – Biopathology Lab

Specialty Solutions recently completed the installation of six ducted fume hoods for a new research facility.

Enhancing Research Safety with Ducted and Filtered Fume Hoods

Specialty Solutions recently completed the installation of six ducted fume hoods for a new research facility within the Biopathology Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. These hoods were part of a lab buildout designed to meet strict airflow and containment requirements to support high-performance biomedical research. Our team worked closely with stakeholders to ensure each unit was properly integrated into the facility’s HVAC and safety systems.

We were later brought back to install a 3-foot filtered fume hood to support a flexible-use lab space. Filtered hoods offer mobility and fast deployment in areas where ducted ventilation may not be available—making them a smart solution for evolving research needs.

Biopathology Center: Enabling Better Patient Outcomes

The Biopathology Center (BPC) is part of the Abigail Wexner Research Institute and plays a key role in advancing pediatric healthcare by supporting the collection, processing, and distribution of clinically annotated biospecimens. The new facility includes spaces for biospecimen accessioning, testing, and storage, supporting research initiatives that directly impact patient outcomes.

As a Columbus-based company, we’re proud to contribute to the infrastructure supporting world-class research at Nationwide Children’s. Our work reflects a shared commitment to safety, reliability, and the future of science and care.
