Safety is the prime consideration when designing for laboratory workflows

Since energy and natural resource consumption are huge components of a lab’s operating expenses, no lab design today ignores “green” issues.

Here we explore three case studies on laboration expansion at an emerging metro-Boston biotech company, a small biophotonics R&D lab, and laboratories at the University of California, Irvine; showing how they dealt with the challenges they faced.

Four lab professionals share their experiences with major lab design projects and the lessons they learned along the way.
