Demystify: 

Our new Engineering & Molecular Sciences building was commissioned in 2009, and we have natural gas in just about every lab. However, we have a main shutoff at the front of each lab and emergency shutoffs (you just push them in) at each exit door.

I hate having natural gas in labs, but in academia, not having it is unthinkable, particularly among biologists. You can't use an electric burner for everything...

Good luck--

All,

Is the installation of plumbed natural gas still allowed in new science buildings?

I assume so. On the other hand-

I was wondering if anyone absolutely prohibits the installation of natural gas and if so, why?

Many thanks,

Chris
