Universities
Research-grade university millwork — labs, libraries, studios and admin fit-outs.
Recent work at the University of Toronto Robarts Library Study Commons.
About this sub-sector
Universities operate research labs, libraries and admin buildings on the same campus. Millwork specs vary building to building — but the standard is always research-grade durability.
Sandha delivers post-secondary millwork across Ontario and the US — wet labs, dry labs, study commons, research group offices and campus retail.
