Multi-Program Research Facilities

Technical requirements for shared spaces.

Published April 2006 The facility you are currently building may end up accommodating more diverse programmatic needs than you might expect.

In the emerging science arena, count on buildings funded for one purpose having to accommodate significant unanticipated programs with very different and exacting technical requirements – example, a nanotechnology building at UCLA now being fit up to house a highly automated, high-throughput, BSL-3 pathogenic disease analysis lab. Plan for it.
