Available to purchase at.In my last blog, I explored how innovative, value-driven conceptual design can be shepherded through basic / scheme design.
as a CRO or CDMO) may one day find themselves at risk – with many of these companies already moving towards BREEAM, LEED, WELL, and other accreditations for their own facilities.While demand for labs currently far outweighs supply, this probably won’t always be the case, and sustainability could in the future become a critical differentiator in an increasingly competitive market.. 12.
Unattractive office to lab conversions may struggle in an increasingly competitive life sciences sector.. A recurring theme we hear from our clients is that talented scientists and lab technicians are increasingly hard to find and retain, and at the time of writing both roles are priorities under the UK Government’s skilled worker visa programme.Increased competition means life science businesses and labs must be exceptional places to work, and of course they must also impress current and prospective customers and the regulator..Together, this often means good transport connections, high-spec and high-tech spaces, lots of internal and external glazing, environments that are comfortable (e.g.
temperature, humidity, lighting, noise, ergonomics) and which provide a variety of break-out and social areas.Hence, while some conversions may look particularly cheap or quick to deliver, a poorly located or unattractive lab in a rundown office building could struggle in the long run..
At Bryden Wood, our architects and engineers work closely with life science businesses, tenants, and developers to quickly translate scientific, technological, and business requirements (both current and future) into compliant and productive lab designs.
We aim to do this during the earliest stages of a project, long before a brief has been finalised and ideally prior to an office being purchased or leased, all with the goal of identifying and then mitigating potential challenges as quickly as possible – giving the project and our clients the best chance of success.. 1.Defining Chips for the project.
At a point in each project, we go through the process of defining Chips for that project, in order to develop a Chip library.This can start with a reference design, or a blank piece of paper.
Or we might start with a similar type of project for which we've generated Chips in the past.. Chips can be made at different levels.A chip is not a module or a piece of equipment, it's a part of a chain.
