We look beyond the usual to find efficiency and deliver increased value by taking a fresh look at existing M&E design approaches – and improving on them.. M&E consultancy and engineering.
Conversion of an existing office tenancy into a new PCR and bloodwork lab.. 1.Space.. Spatial constraints in office buildings can result in unproductive or inflexible lab layouts.. Office to lab conversions will often result in some compromises.
Where the science, technology, and compliance (safety and quality) are generally hard requirements, it is often the productivity or flexibility of the lab space that is impacted..Regarding productivity, office to lab conversions tend to be less spatially efficient (e.g.bench space per floor area) than a new-build.
This can be due to structural grids or the general proportions of the available space, among other things.A tight or convoluted lab layout may mean disorganised or congested material and personnel flows, adding time to processes or increasing the risk of mix-ups and cross-contamination.
There may be insufficient maintenance space, or a lack of space for collaboration between scientists or analytics and informatics work, which are particularly important in R&D environments and increasingly so with the rise in automation..
Regarding flexibility, science and technology are evolving rapidly, which means new processes, equipment, and requirements.Available to purchase at.Our latest video from Head of Global Systems,.
