Ανοικτά Ακαδημαϊκά Μαθήματα στο Πανεπιστήμιο Κρήτης

The University of Crete has recently completed the procurement of a new batch of laboratory furniture to enhance its research and teaching facilities. This strategic investment aims to support the university’s expanding scientific departments and ensure that students and faculty have access to safe, functional, and modern laboratory environments.

The new laboratory furniture includes workbenches, chemical-resistant countertops, fume extraction systems, storage cabinets, and height-adjustable stools—designed to meet the demanding requirements of advanced scientific research and laboratory safety standards. All furniture is built with high-quality materials that comply with international certifications for chemical durability, ergonomics, and fire resistance.

The procurement process prioritized flexibility and long-term performance. Modular designs allow laboratories to be easily reconfigured as research needs evolve, while durable surfaces and integrated safety features help reduce maintenance and support consistent laboratory practices. The university also emphasized energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in selecting products, opting for materials with low VOC emissions and recyclable components.

According to faculty members, the new installations will significantly improve the workflow, organization, and cleanliness of lab spaces. Researchers and students alike will benefit from the improved ergonomics and functionality that support a wide range of academic and experimental tasks.

This investment aligns with the University of Crete’s commitment to maintaining high academic standards and fostering innovation in science and technology. The upgraded laboratory infrastructure reinforces its position as a leading institution in Greece and Europe, offering competitive facilities for both local and international research collaborations.

The successful delivery and installation of the laboratory furniture mark a critical step in supporting the university's future growth and academic excellence.
