Tradeline’s 28th annual Research Facilities conference!

Four very big things are happening in the research arena that are dramatically re-shaping research facility plans, standards, and operating models, and making pre-year-2000 conventional lab plans and standards obsolete and uncompetitive:

1. A radical change in the sciences and the way research gets done,
2. Increasing competition for top-notch people,
3. Faster turnover of research programs and equipment, and
4. Escalating research program costs (energy, facilities, and personnel).

At this conference you’ll get the year-2010-and-beyond research facility solutions, see how they will be used and operated, and learn what they will cost. You’ll also learn what must be done to update old, traditional lab plans and research infrastructure to compete on the recruitment and research productivity fronts.

Specifically, you’ll get planning, construction, utilization, and operating details on research facility features that:
         • Deliver ultimate flexibility
         • Increase research productivity
         • Anticipate the future of scientific instrumentation
         • Lower facility management and operating costs
         • Reduce energy use
         • Benefit from the new, innovative lab furniture systems
         • Get the most out of tightly constrained financial resources 

Plus you’ll have an opportunity to tour these notable Boston-area research buildings:
         • The Broad Institute
         • Harvard University, Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering (LISE) Building
         • Harvard Northwest Science Building
         • The Eisai Research Institute
         • Genzyme Framingham Science Center
         • Center for Life Science Boston
