At this conference, you’ll get the details on new lab and research facility design, space planning, renovation, and construction initiatives that research organizations are putting in place for their new, updated research workplaces:
- Responding to funding model changes (Grants and Indirect Cost Recovery)
- Improving research space utilization and productivity
- Increasing flexibility
- Implementing new research work environments and shared space models
- Advancing collaboration targets
- Getting more capacity and higher occupancy density
- Providing more space for specialized equipment
- Achieving decarbonization and energy reduction goals
- Meeting increasingly complex infrastructure requirements
