Empowering Breakthroughs Beyond the Gold-Plated Lab Designing Cost-Conscious, People-Forward Pharma Facilities
Pharma startups can design compliant, cost-conscious manufacturing facilities without over-engineering. A people-centered approach can support employee well-being, operational efficiency, regulatory requirements, and responsible growth
How Coating Selection Shapes Pharmaceutical Facility Readiness
Early coating and flooring decisions can help pharmaceutical project teams avoid construction delays, support regulatory requirements, and create facilities that are easier to maintain and operate over the long term
Lab Planning with Operations in Mind
Successful laboratory planning goes beyond square footage and equipment counts by incorporating operational workflows, maintenance needs, and user input early in the design process to create spaces that support efficient, compliant, and intuitive day-to-day laboratory operations
Holding the Line on Cleanroom Pressure: Keeping GMP Operations in Control
Designing, monitoring, and maintaining differential pressure to protect sterility and compliance
Laboratories Need an Identity Layer for Their Building Records
A structural failure during a Manhattan building conversion exposed the risks of disconnected facility records. For laboratories, where spaces evolve constantly, maintaining a continuous history of every system and modification may require a new approach to how facility identity is managed
Engineering the Vanguard: UK Backs £580M Infrastructure Upgrade for New Biodefense Lab
A £580M capital investment at the secretive Wiltshire site will deliver the Ernest Bevin Laboratory to combat evolving global biological threats
An Architect’s Role in Brownfield Site Selection: What You Should Know
Involving architects early in brownfield site selection helps identify structural, infrastructure, compliance, and operational challenges before purchase, reducing risk, avoiding costly redesigns, and ensuring the facility can support current and future cGMP operations
Engineering a CLIA-Ready Lab for Next-Gen Cancer Testing
Beken Bio’s newly opened laboratory at the New Orleans BioInnovation Center integrates a CLIA-ready, workflow-driven design within an incubator environment to advance its blood-based ovarian cancer test, prioritizing flexibility, reduced variability, and close collaboration between R&D, clinical, and quality teams to accelerate assay development and future commercialization
Maximize Your Lab Design Conference Experience with Hands-On Workshops
At the Lab Design Conference in Orlando, attendees can enhance their experience by adding a hands-on workshop to their ticket—each session offers practical strategies on workflow-driven design, risk management, or code compliance, and with limited spots filling quickly, early registration is strongly encouraged
