Design Your New or Renovated Laboratory for Growth
The objectives of a sound laboratory facility layout should include a design that:
- Ensures smooth inflow of specimens, people, reagents, and supplies, along with the outflows of waste--biohazard and other,
- Minimizes the distance among sequential process steps,
- Reduces walking distances,
- Improves the opportunity to visually manage laboratory operations, and
- Enhances the work environment from a safety and aesthetics perspective.
Whether you desire a traditional or Lean facility layout, our approach to laboratory facility planning provides you with multiple design alternatives.
Our methodology begins with discovery--an assessment of your current state facility (strengths and weaknesses of the occupied space) coupled with an understanding of your long-range growth plans and desired future service lines.
We present these finding at an interactive facility planning team meeting. Team generated output from this meeting is the future state vision for your new or renovated laboratory. Logical product | service-line families will be suggested, discussed and decided, so that the future-state lab design work can begin.
The entire facility planning process is logical and enables us to guide your team through the design planning process, on-time and within budget.
