Why Lab Pros Keep Coming Back: 25 Years of the Lab Design Conference
The 25th annual Lab Design Conference, taking place May 11-14 in Orlando, brings together end users planning lab projects and the design and project teams who serve them for AIA-accredited sessions and networking focused on collaboration, connection, and advancing lab design
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
Custom University Labs: Attracting Top Talent with Design Collaborations
Universities are increasingly partnering with architects to design highly customized labs—often within aging buildings—to attract top-tier researchers, translating complex scientific needs into flexible, future-ready spaces that support cutting-edge discovery
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

Agriculture Lab Set for Long-Awaited Overhaul
Washington State has allocated over $2 million to design a new, centralized laboratory, replacing outdated and inefficient facilities to better support agricultural testing and the state’s fruit industry
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
Expanding Lab Capacity Through a Flexible Retrofit Strategy
The expansion of Ben Franklin TechVentures in Bethlehem converts existing space into flexible wet and electronics labs, using a retrofit approach and upgraded infrastructure to meet rising cross-disciplinary demand from early-stage life sciences and microelectronics companies while strengthening the region’s innovation ecosystem
Speaking with One Voice: How Owner’s Reps Streamline Life Sciences Permitting
Life sciences projects often stall because permitting is treated as an administrative afterthought, but when it is centralized, technically informed, and managed through a coordinated owner’s representative model, it becomes a strategic function that reduces risk, shortens timelines, and keeps complex lab campuses moving efficiently
