Research Facilities 2017

This 37th annual planning conference on research facilities convenes capital, facilities/operations, lab planning and research stakeholders along with consulting architects and engineers to get the whole project team on the same page in light of the major paradigm shift that is underway. Peer research organizations and planning experts explore how the latest facility initiatives for upgrades, modernization, and new construction are responding to new directions in such areas as research facility space allocation, shared work environments, wet-damp-dry lab types, office plans, support space, core research facilities, capital costs and advanced mechanical systems and controls. Tours are offered to area research facilities.
