Laundry Room Design
New laundry facility builds require a comprehensive approach to layout, equipment integration, and workflow efficiency, ensuring a space that meets operational standards and maximizes productivity. This process includes space planning, equipment specification, regulatory compliance, and budget development, all designed to create functional, code-compliant laundry facilities optimized for high-volume usage. Increasingly, many facilities are adopting automated commercial laundry systems, which use advanced machinery and technology to streamline operations, reduce labor costs, and improve efficiency. LGM Design Group brings extensive experience to every project, working closely with clients to create custom solutions tailored to each facility’s unique needs. With a team of skilled designers, architects, and engineers, LGM ensures each laundry design project is expertly managed from start to finish, focusing on both functionality and efficiency.
How To Design a Commercial Laundry Facility
A commercial laundry design guide serves as a comprehensive roadmap, covering the essential steps to create an efficient and high-performing laundry facility. This guide addresses key considerations, from space utilization and equipment selection to regulatory requirements, workflow optimization, and safety standards. A structured approach ensures that all elements—such as HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems—are integrated to support smooth, efficient operations. LGM Design Group develops tailored design guides for each project, ensuring clients have a clear, actionable plan for building or renovating their commercial laundry facilities with long-term performance in mind.
Commercial Laundry Facility Design Process
The four “pillars” of every project include planning and schematic design, design development, construction documents and construction quality assurance. LGM works with our client and the project team from concept through construction, adding clarity, practical and elegant solutions to design challenges, project management, equipment recommendations and specifications, estimating and budgeting, and construction quality assurance.
Planning and schematic design include initial consultations to assess project needs, finalize space layout, and provide a budget estimate. This step results in a preliminary schematic design, flow diagrams, and updated budgets, offering stakeholders a clear visual and financial foundation for the facility.
Design development includes creating rough-in drawings and detailed equipment and utility schedules, coordinating with project engineers for seamless integration. Detailed equipment specifications and rough-in requirements ensure that all elements align with operational standards, allowing for accurate and efficient installations.
Construction documentation provides essential blueprints, schedules, and bidding documents to guide the construction phase. These documents include critical plans for equipment layout, utility connections, and construction specifications, ensuring a smooth transition from design to build.
Construction quality assurance is the final step, involving site visits and as-built documentation to verify that the facility meets design specifications. This step includes soliciting competitive bids to ensure cost-effectiveness while adhering to high-quality standards.
LGM Design Group applies this structured, detail-oriented process to every commercial laundry project, ensuring accuracy and adherence to industry standards. With a strong commitment to excellence and a proven track record, LGM guarantees that each project is built to optimize productivity, incorporate automation as needed, and withstand high-demand use.
Commercial Laundry Plumbing Design
Plumbing design is a critical component of commercial laundry facility planning, as it directly impacts water usage, waste management, and overall system efficiency. Commercial laundry plumbing systems must be designed to handle high water demand while ensuring reliable drainage and meeting local plumbing codes. Key elements include water softening, filtration systems, and wastewater management to prevent clogs and contamination. LGM Design Group emphasizes efficient, code-compliant plumbing layouts that accommodate the heavy-duty needs of commercial laundries, allowing for smooth operation while minimizing utility costs
Commercial Laundry HVAC Design
Proper HVAC design in a commercial laundry facility is essential to maintaining optimal indoor air quality, controlling humidity, and ensuring the comfort and safety of workers. A well-designed HVAC system for commercial laundry must handle high moisture levels and ventilation demands, efficiently removing excess heat and humidity generated by washers, dryers, and other equipment. This also involves precise planning for airflow and temperature control to keep equipment running efficiently. LGM Design Group prioritizes HVAC considerations in every laundry project, utilizing advanced modeling tools to create robust ventilation and climate control solutions that improve operational reliability and energy efficiency.

Commercial Laundry Room Design
Commercial laundry room design focuses on creating a workspace that supports seamless, efficient workflows while prioritizing worker safety and equipment accessibility. An effective laundry room layout accounts for equipment size, placement, and proximity to utilities, ensuring smooth transitions between washing, drying, folding, and storage areas. By considering ergonomic design principles and optimizing spatial flow, LGM Design Group creates laundry rooms that boost productivity and reduce physical strain on workers. Each layout is customized to maximize available space and align with the facility’s operational goals.
