Infographic: Five Key Elements For A Successful Laboratory Design
Successful laboratories require proper planning and collaboration between the design teams and the lab users.
FLEXIBILITY
Change is the only constant. As research methods and priorities keep changing, laboratories must allow for flexibility in design without costly modifications.[/boc_list_item][boc_list_item has_icon_color=”yes” icon_color=”#224a98″ icon=”icon icon-mail-forward”]
SUSTAINABILITY
Labs are energy guzzlers due to stringent safety and health requirements. Lab designs should incorporate high-efficient and low-energy options from the beginning.[/boc_list_item][boc_list_item has_icon_color=”yes” icon_color=”#224a98″ icon=”icon icon-mail-forward”]
LAB EQUIPMENT
Depending on the industry, the choice of laboratory equipment should complement the nature of research. Care must be exercised for the choice and placement of equipment with the lab.[/boc_list_item][boc_list_item has_icon_color=”yes” icon_color=”#224a98″ icon=”icon icon-mail-forward”]
LAB CASE WORKS
When deciding the case works & furniture for the lab, planners should factor in adaptable furniture to accommodate future changes with ease. The material of construction and safety ratings should be given due weightage.[/boc_list_item][boc_list_item has_icon_color=”yes” icon_color=”#224a98″ icon=”icon icon-mail-forward”]
DIGITALISATION
Newer digital technologies are enabling successful research and unhindered lab operations. From an early stage lab designs should factor in technology integration into lab operations.[/boc_list_item]
