Design Decisions That Protect Critical Environments
By integrating contamination control into early design decisions, laboratories can better align human behavior, facility performance, and operational resilience
Integrating Diagnostics and Genetics Through Laboratory Design
Dynacare’s new precision medicine laboratory in Laval’s Biotech City consolidates diagnostic and genetics operations into a user-centered, highly integrated facility that enhances collaboration, streamlines workflows, maintains service continuity during transition, and advances efficient, patient-focused care
An Operations-First Framework for Lab Renovations
Renovating active laboratories offers a cost-effective alternative to new construction but requires a highly strategic, operations-centered approach to upgrade facilities and integrate new technologies while minimizing disruptions to critical, ongoing work
Logical Workflow Solutions for Labs: Designing Around How Work Happens in Real Life
Laboratory designs often fall short when early decisions are made without direct input from end users, leading to subtle but persistent workflow inefficiencies that could be avoided by understanding and prioritizing real-world processes from the outset
The Importance of Early Planning for Laboratory Equipment and Instrumentation
Laboratory expansions and relocations succeed only when facility planning fully accounts for the interdependence of intellectual property, people, and especially instrumentation, since overlooked equipment requirements can compromise workflows, data quality, and overall scientific productivity
How Eli Lilly Is Shaping the Design of an Academic Pharma Lab
Designed in close collaboration with Eli Lilly, Lehigh Carbon Community College’s new pharmaceutical training labs incorporate cleanroom simulation, aseptic processing suites, and industry-standard equipment to replicate real manufacturing environments and create a workforce pipeline aligned with modern pharma operations
