Research institutions face mounting pressure to expand STEM research capacity while capital budgets shrink, and deferred maintenance backlogs grow. Bruce Molino draws on 8 years leading facility planning at Syracuse University — plus prior experience with EYP Architects— to share a proven framework that cuts planning and delivery timelines for laboratory renovations. He profiles Syracuse's 80/20 Process which standardizes lab infrastructure decisions, streamlines faculty engagement, and maximizes adaptability within existing buildings. He illustrates how the 80/20 model balances institutional standards with research flexibility, reducing custom design iterations that delay occupancy. He examines implementation strategies and stakeholder engagement principles, and delivers operational lessons from Syracuse's experience transforming constrained footprints into high-performance research environments that compete for talent and funding without expansion.
