Attend this conference to learn the details of the new research facility planning models being formulated to deliver three critical performance outcomes:

1. Getting more research program with less capital spend

2. Creating a more robust, flexible research infrastructure

3. Lowering operating costs

Specifically, you’ll learn the planning standards, metrics, features, costs, and decision-making rationales that are being used to deliver:

• Strategic plans for higher space and capital utilization
• Top researcher recruitment features
• Proven, cost-effective flexibility solutions for continually changing programs
• Efficient platforms for multi-discipline, increasingly equipment-intensive research
• Economic decisions for sustainability and energy cost reduction
• High-value outcomes for renovations and upgrades

This is a unique opportunity to get a hold of and benchmark plans for proven, break-through research facilities across industry sectors (private, academic, and government), plus you’ll have an opportunity to tour newly-completed Boston-area research buildings for a first-hand view of some of the latest lab-building projects.

Attend this conference along with other members of your group (including your scientific user representatives, capital planners, and key operating people), and make this meeting an integral part of your 2006-2007 management plan.

I look forward to seeing you in Boston for this performance-focused planning event.
