 Site Location: A loading dock is required for deliveries of laboratory equipment and supplies such as gas cylinders.  The loading dock will also serve as a staging area for laboratory mobile operations.  The loading dock must be constructed so that the loading surface is essentially the same height as standard tractor-trailer, thus allowing equipment to be rolled from a tractor-trailer to the loading doc without the aid to lifting or lowering equipment.  The loading dock should also be accessible by a ramp to allow for deliveries from smaller trucks.

 If located in a high-rise office building, close proximity to the roof is required because of ductwork from exhaust hoods and special HVAC equipment.
