<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

So we both are in a chemistry lab together (Me 19M, soon 20 and she's 20F, soon to be 21), and we see each other every day. The lab environment is very relaxed and friendly, and everyone's like family. 

I met her when I joined the lab, about 6 months ago, and I've always found her attractive, but we've never talked much. Probably because I'm shy, but we always smile at each other whenever we make eye contact, without fail (these might just be out of being polite though). I'm not that sure she's into me: we work in complete opposites of the room, we both don't really make it a point to talk to each other (I try to when I see she isn't all that busy), and soon she will be moved to a different room owned by our lab due to space issues. 

I'm planning just to talk to her more and ask her out before the summer ends. How should I go about this situation without ruining the lab's great environment? I'll be a junior next semester and she'll be a senior, so there will be at least a year of awkwardness if things don't work out, but it might be longer due to her wanting to be a doctor.

Thanks for reading, all comments/advice are welcome
<bot>: Crush on cute coworker in a chemistry lab, plan to ask her out but I don't want to accidentally ruin the great environment in lab by making things awkward. How should I go about this?
