Our buildings
The new buildings have made it possible to improve our services. The large bright spaces of the laboratory are located on the ground floor. The structure has ample parking and is situated near the bus stop at “Sforzacosta: Industrial area” “Sforzacosta – Zona industriale”. Good transport links mean that For.Med.Lab. is accessible and easy to reach. The renovated, modern premises have allowed us to expand the provision for testing and screening and all the other services offered to individuals and companies. The new centre for blood tests and the clinic for medical appointments are also available to companies and professionals who request them. The building also houses a large library available to staff, researchers and students undertaking internships and training.
