Attract, recruit, and retain top researchers by planning integrated, efficient, and adaptable facilities that meet the changing needs of research. In this webcast, Evan Weremeychik details key features for planning attractive, functional laboratories capable of adapting to persistent change and strategies for minimizing the impact associated with changing research programs. He uses current case studies to illustrate optimal lab planning modules including appropriate ratios of labs to support, storage, and office spaces, flexibility options using vertical and horizontal distribution for mechanical systems, and spaces that encourage collaboration and interaction between research groups. He also benchmarks costs for these features and compares up-front and future costs for implementing flexibility strategies.
