Project Profile: Roche’s Institute of Human Biology, Building 92
Roche’s new Institute of Human Biology Building 92 in Basel is a highly flexible research facility designed to accelerate drug discovery by enabling advanced human-relevant model systems—such as organoids, organ-on-chip technologies, and computational biology—within an integrated, collaborative, and future-ready laboratory environment
How Documentation Fragmentation Threatens Lab Planning, Operations, and Compliance
Laboratory facilities often lose critical design, commissioning, and operational documentation over time due to fragmented, project-based recordkeeping, highlighting the need for a persistent, asset-linked identity system to ensure long-term continuity, compliance, and access to complete facility history
Lab Design Conference Speaker Profile: Alison Farmer
Alison Farmer’s session at the Lab Design Conference will equip lab end users and project teams with practical, data-driven strategies to identify and implement energy efficiency upgrades in laboratories, helping reduce both upfront design effort and long-term operating costs
Lab Utilization Tracking: Who Is Actually Using That Bench?
Before you approve a capital project for a new lab wing, check the data. Occupancy sensors may reveal that the facility you already have is quietly sitting empty—and that the real problem is optimization, not square footage.
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
Smarter Labs: AI, Compliance, and Energy in Sync
independent data layers, continuous monitoring, and AI-driven analytics are transforming laboratory facilities by improving transparency, detecting operational drift, sustaining lifecycle performance, and enabling safer, more energy-efficient, and data-informed design decisions
Using Occupancy Sensors to Right-Size Laboratory Design
Advances in thermal occupancy sensing and analytics are enabling data-driven laboratory planning by revealing real-world space utilization patterns without compromising privacy
AI and the Future of Lab Building Performance
As laboratory buildings grow more complex and future demands more uncertain, AI is helping project teams turn fragmented HVAC and building data into smarter forecasts, fewer performance surprises, and more resilient, right-sized facilities across the lab lifecycle
On-Premise vs. Cloud: Sizing the Lab Server Room
Don't let the server room melt. Calculating the massive cooling loads of AI-driven drug discovery.
Dry Lab Design Trends: Infrastructure for Data-Driven Science
The pipette is being replaced by the GPU. Why your next lab needs more servers than sinks.
