📰About MRT LABORATORIES
MRT Laboratories is a 10,000-square-foot interior renovation project located at 7510 Lawndale Street in Houston. The work involves converting existing space into laboratory facilities, with an estimated cost of $250,000. The project is registered with TDLR and has completed the plan review process.
