Augusta, Maine - Established in 1965, the University of Maine at Augusta (UMA) is the third largest public university in Maine and serves over 5,600 students. UMA offers top-quality, career-focused degree programs designed for today’s workplace.
One of the pathways offered is Medical Laboratory Technology. This program was created through a collaborative effort between the University of Maine at Presque Isle and the University of Maine at Augusta due to the significant demand for medical laboratory technicians, with approximately 40% of the current laboratory workforce being within five to ten years of retirement.
In the final semester of this program, students will gain hands-on experience while participating in a supervised clinical practicum at an affiliated hospital laboratory.
Lavallee Brensinger Architects worked alongside the University of Maine at Augusta to design a medical laboratory that would prioritize safety for students and staff, without sacrificing aesthetics.
To maintain high standards of cleanliness, laboratory floors require a smooth surface that’s easy to clean and to keep dust-free. They must also withstand chemical spillages and be stain-resistant to avoid lasting damage. Lavallee Brensinger Architects specified Altro Symphonia due to its stain and chemical resistance features, as well as its extensive color palette.
Altro Symphonia has been reengineered with Altro ShieldTec and Altro Easyclean for revolutionary stain, chemical and abrasion resistance. Additionally, its palette features a range of stylish colors reflecting contemporary trends and diverse interior design needs from across the globe.
With 330 square yards of Altro Symphonia installed, the University of Maine at Augusta can confidently provide its students and staff with a safe, durable, and visually appealing flooring solution that meets the rigorous demands of laboratory settings
