Massachusetts Institute of Technology Radiochemistry Fume Hood Replacement

F&T recently began a fume hood replacement project within building 6 on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Cambridge campus.

The hood is located in the basement and was used in the 1960’s for radiological experiments.

The hood is being decommissioned and will be replaced with a new hood for typical chemical use (nothing radioactive). Design challenges include the old building infrastructure and getting appropriate ventilation to the basement.
