A fume hood includes a polygonal-shaped work top providing three or more equally-spaced work areas. A tubular column with a lower apertured portion is located at the center of the work top for exhausting heavier-than-air gases. A plenum located above the work top and supported by the tubular column is provided with slots located above the work openings for collecting and exhausting lighter-than-air gases. Transparent viewing screens permit inspection of all work locations from a single vantage point. A central pedestal is used to support the hood and to route plumbing and electrical conduits from the floor. The system is easily convertible between up-draft and down-draft exhaust without the need for special baffles.
