Labs are demanding, infrastructure-heavy environments — and the human side matters as much as the systems. Our strength is lab seating and ergonomics, where decades of specification expertise pay off at the bench. For casework, worksurfaces, and specialized equipment, we coordinate with our lab partners to deliver a complete, well-fitted environment.

One lab or a whole research building — you’re the right size.

From a single lab fit-out to a full facility, you get the same expertise and the same manufacturer access. No project is too small to do well.

How we help

Coordinated, durable, and built for the bench.

Seating & ergonomics — our strength

Lab stools and chairs specified for the height, support, and durability that long, precise bench work demands — backed by decades of ergonomic specification.

Lab-grade durability

Chemical-, moisture-, and cleaning-resistant materials — with ESD-safe and cleanroom-appropriate options where the work demands them.

Casework & equipment, coordinated

We work with our lab partners on casework, worksurfaces, and specialized equipment — coordinating the loose furniture and seating to fit the fixed systems.

Flexible for changing science

Mobile, height-adjustable, and reconfigurable solutions that adapt as protocols, teams, and equipment change.

New — now introducing to the US

GT Scien lab-safety technology

We’re bringing GT Scien — a Korean laboratory-safety innovator — to the US market. Their patented TOGA® toxic-gas filtration and AIoT (AI + IoT) platform raise the bar on researcher safety: filtered chemical-storage cabinets and refrigerators that capture harmful fumes at the source, smart chemical lockers that track reagent use in real time, and continuous air purification for the people who work around chemicals every day.

Why AE for life sciences

Precision furniture, coordinated and ergonomic.

01

Any size, same care

One lab or a whole building — we scale to the project, and a single fit-out gets the same expertise and manufacturer access as a full facility.

02

Seating & ergonomics, plus the right partners

Where a lab touches people — seating, heights, long hours at the bench — we bring real, decades-deep ergonomic expertise. For the casework and equipment, we bring the right lab partners.

About This Page

Is a single lab fit-out too small a project?
No. Whether it’s one lab or a whole research building, you get the same team, expertise, and manufacturer access. We size our involvement to your project.
Are your materials chemical- and cleaning-resistant?
Yes — we specify chemical-, moisture-, and cleaning-resistant materials, with ESD-safe and cleanroom-appropriate options where the work requires them.
Can you coordinate with our casework, architect, or GC?
Yes. We work alongside your lab-casework supplier, architect, and GC, coordinating the loose furniture and seating to perform with the fixed systems.
Do you bring real ergonomics expertise to lab seating?
Yes — ergonomics is core to how we specify, which matters most at the bench, where long, precise work makes posture, height, and fatigue a real performance factor.

Working with Applied Ergonomics

What types of projects does Applied Ergonomics work on?
We work on projects of all sizes, from single-office setups to multi-floor corporate buildouts. Our services span workspace strategy, interior design, furniture specification, procurement, project management, and installation across healthcare, education, corporate, industrial, and hospitality environments.
How does the consultation process work?
We start with a conversation to understand your goals, challenges, and timeline. From there we develop a tailored approach that may include space planning, product recommendations, and a detailed proposal. There’s no obligation, and we’re happy to answer questions at any stage.
Do you work with architects and interior designers?
Absolutely. We regularly partner with architects and interior designers as a technical and execution resource, translating design intent into specific, high-performing solutions.
What geographic areas do you serve?
We serve clients nationally. While we’re headquartered in the Chicago area, our project management and installation capabilities extend across the United States.
Do you support ongoing facility needs after a project is complete?
Yes. We remain a consistent point of contact beyond project closeout—handling warranty coordination, reconfigurations, internal moves, modular system relocation and reuse, redesigns, and more. Our goal is continuity, not re-procurement.
