Phase 1, High Performance Fume Cupboards for The Royce

In 2021, Clean Air manufactured 61 Clean Air VAV High-Performance Radius Profile fume cupboards and two walk-in enclosures for the Hub Building.

The large High-Performance Radius Profile walk-in units are all custom sizes. Each one was designed to meet the needs of the discipline where it will be put to work. They range from 1.8 m to 2.5 m wide and have depths of up to 1.25 m.
