Artificial intelligence (AI), work-from-home (WFH), and new programmatic drivers are upending legacy space planning metrics for life science laboratories, and here you’ll see where industry trends are now pointing for the scientific workplace space metrics. Session leaders profile the latest benchmarking data from diverse institutional and corporate campuses that is informing space plans and analytics for the Broad Institute’s 1-million-square-foot campus. They demonstrate new inputs, processes, space data definitions, and examples for considering not just assignable lab space but off-site and WFH resources to determine the optimum fit and future flexibility for lab construction and renovation initiatives.
