NEXT-GENERATION LAB DESIGN

摘要

The constant scramble for blockbuster ethical drugs by pharmaceutical companies, endeavors like the Human Genome Project, and the growth of such fields as proteomics and bioinformatics have kept demand for new or renovated spaces rather steady. Despite this positive picture, it's not exactly business as usual for the Building Teams designing and constructing these complex facilities. Private-sector and university clients are pushing Building Teams to create lab facilities that accommodate both current and future research needs, that encourage interaction among scientists from many disciplines, that help recruit and retain hard-to-get PhDs―and, did we mention, that do all this at the lowest possible cost, and at the speed of light? Well, that too.
