Labs are designed and built with a specific purpose: conducting research. But when research priorities shift or new technology emerges, having a lab space that is ready to adapt is critical to your evolving business needs.
By planning for future changes and building in infrastructure that supports flexibility, adapting your lab will be a less cumbersome process. We see increased future integration of AI, robotics, and modularity. To handle these new technologies and shifting processes, infrastructure considerations will be crucial—including electrical capacity, mechanical system demands, and equipment optimization powered by better usage data.
This webinar will take you inside the complete lifecycle of an adaptable lab—from the earliest vision and kickoff conversations through design, construction, and opening, all the way to post-occupancy evaluation. You’ll learn what questions to raise at the start, how to make sure lab users and project partners are aligned, and when to bring vendors into the mix to get the most value.
Ultimately, the session will explore both the big-picture trends shaping adaptable labs and the practical steps you can take to make sure your facility is built to evolve with your science.
Learning objectives:
Understand the full lifecycle of an adaptable lab—from conception and design through construction, opening, and post-occupancy evaluation.
Identify the right questions to ask at kickoff meetings to ensure alignment among lab users, planners, and project stakeholders.
Recognize when and how to involve vendors and suppliers to maximize value and efficiency throughout the project.
Explore strategies to future-proof labs by integrating flexible infrastructure, scalable systems, and emerging technologies like AI, robotics, and modular design.
