Laboratories and research facilities are some of the most complex environments to plan and design, requiring deep technical knowledge of workflows and equipment to support the rigorous needs of evolving research.

At the Lab & Research Facilities Summit, Flad’s Danielle McGuire will join a panel of fellow AEC and research experts to discuss designing research environments around evolving laboratory needs. They will explore how early coordination between researchers, equipment specialists, designers, and construction teams helps lead to laboratories that safely integrate complex equipment, support evolving research needs, and balance technical, operational, and infrastructure requirements.
