radeline’s 36th annual conference on research facilities focuses on the big sweeping changes that are occurring in research facility space allocation, utilization concepts, wet-damp-dry lab types, lab/office planning, support space and core research facilities, and

capital and operating costs. The content of this conference has major planning implications for research facility and lab renovations, upgrades, new construction and expansions.

Here you’ll get the details on new planning metrics and solutions being implemented for high space utilization, transparency, open offices (in all sectors), less permanently assigned workspace, centralized research cores, adaptability, scalability, interactive, multi- and interdisciplinary work environments, and cost reduction.

Specifically, you’ll benchmark and learn solutions from leading research organizations and how they are responding to the new directions in research facility planning and operation:

• Legacy space allocation metrics (grant $, # of staff, etc.) are being revised or discarded.

• The demand for computational/informatics space is increasing dramatically.

• Individual office size is shrinking, and the demand for office space (total square footage) is moderately increasing.

• There is a major move toward open offices in research facilities.

• Lab planning priorities are shifting from bench space toward shared core research facilities.

• Shared core research facilities are reducing equipment redundancy and cost, improving recruitment, and maximizing space utilization.

• New standards for “wet” bench space signal a trend toward smaller modules.

• The demand for “wet” space (as a percentage of the whole) is decreasing.

• Most research facility portfolios are greatly underperforming – wrong type/outdated/underutilized.

• The concept of shared bench, cores, and support space has taken hold.

• Assigned space is decreasing in favor of shared bench, cores, and support space.

• The need for support space is increasing.

• It is possible to rein-in and recapture underutilized research space – and there is plenty of underutilized space.

• New planning models reflect the idea that research space must inspire entrepreneurship and collaboration.

• Energy efficiency for lab buildings today includes heat recovery, chilled beams, neutral air systems, and sophisticated control systems.

• Building Information and Management Systems are impacting everything from reducing energy use to maximizing space utilization.

• Lab renovations are on the rise because 7+ year-old labs won’t attract researchers nor are they productive.

We look forward to seeing you in Boston in May.

Steve Tatge, LEED AP – Director of Capital Projects

For a case study in how an institution can launch a flexible, open plan, collaborative work environment initiative and successfully bring together diverse groups of researchers from across the campus, look no further than the Molecular and Nano Engineering & Sciences Building at the University of Washington. Session leaders detail critical planning steps including end-user engagement, change management, and post-occupancy evaluation, and they reveal results from the launch of open offices, labs, lab support, and computational space. They identify what worked and what didn’t, and how Phase Two will be informed by issues identified in post occupancy interviews. AIA HSW

L. Using BIM for Low EMF/EMI facilities: New solutions for robust, stable environmentsField Management Services, Inc.

Davidson Scott, P.E. – Director of Engineering James Tidwell – Director of Operations

Increasingly powerful research and diagnostic instruments demand extremely low electromagnetic field (EMF) environments – spaces with specific design criteria. Davidson Scott and James Tidwell deliver low-EMI facility designs for new facilities and renovations, and set out processes and techniques for using Building Information Models (BIM) in collaborative planning of Low-EMF environments. They illustrate how BIM-based EMF modeling methods yield early design phase cost / performance tradeoffs for Geomagnetic (G-EMI), Power (60Hz) and Radio Frequency EMI, review no-cost to low-cost EMI design methods, and demonstrate the return on management / project costs of BIM-based EMF assessments to assist in managing low EMI environments.

HGA Architects

James Goblirsch AIA, LEED AP – Principal

Designed to recruit and retain world-class biomedical, agricultural, and engineering talent, University of Kentucky’s new research building (currently under construction) also demonstrates the big payoffs that early engagement of key project team members can deliver in terms of space use efficiency, design innovation, construction and operating cost reductions. Session leaders set out what they learned from project team tours of science facilities at leading peer institutions, and how those findings shaped decisions on space allocations, transparency, special function scientific core facilities, open labs and office configurations, lab modules, furniture and finishes, building footprint, and construction processes.

N. Translational research space: What you need to know for programs to succeedFrancis Cauffman

James Crispino, AIA – President Carol Karasek, AIA – Principal, Science & Technology

Translational medicine, in less than ten years, has become the standard research and delivery framework for the biomedical and biomolecular sectors throughout the United States. In this session, James Crispino and Carol Karasek examine leading initiatives and the new facilities built to support translational medicine, and answer the question: Are facility designs for translational medicine meeting the challenge for rapid and collaborative therapeutic discovery? They illustrate lessons learned and successful developments from academic medical centers and the pharmaceutical industry including findings on productive collaboration features, team rooms, shared cores, shared workspace, and amenities. AIA HSW

O. The next generation smart lab: Operationally efficient and occupant friendlyCH2M

Jeff Murray, AIA, LEED AP – Director/Design Principal Monty Stranski – Director of Fab Planning

Laboratory buildings are lagging in the implementation of smart building technology: The benefits of resilience against unforeseen events and daily wear and tear, security protection against physical and cyber threats, and sustainability are yet to be realized. But all that is changing, and Jeff Murray and Monty Stranski identify first steps research organizations can take to reap smart technology performance improvements, reduce energy use, and improve safety and security. They illustrate how new technology developments from lab equipment suppliers, and lessons learned from data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities can improve the efficiency and habitability of next-generation lab buildings. AIA HSW

P. The “human age” for science missions: Collaborative research office strategiesAFG Group, Inc.

Michael H. O’Connor, PE – President

National Institute of Allegry and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health

Judy Quasney – Director, Office of Workplace Solutions

This session illustrates the large-scale impacts that technology innovations have on how and where researchers work, productive space allocations and adjacencies, and new science facility planning requirements. Session leaders profile the newly consolidated research facility for NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases – a science facility that’s largely open, collaborative office space reflecting the rise in computational science. They examine what’s changed in research work styles, and the use of scientific “resiliency” features for rapid change including repurposed assets, modular, prefabricated products, and they illustrate new office layout strategies and policies. AIA HSW

Tuesday 10:35 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

Q. Case study: Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute at UC San DiegoZGF Architects LLP

Susan Oehme, AIA, LEED Green Associate – Associate Partner

Jill Edelman, AIA, LEED AP BD+C – Project Architect

Translational medicine is the future of healthcare, and the Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute raises the bar for multidisciplinary research environments productively uniting laboratory scientists with clinical investigators. Session leaders illustrate features designed to accelerate clinical research and medical treatment in one facility equipped with wet and dry research labs, an unprecedented quantity of shared core resources, a full patient trial clinic, and unique features for collaboration. They examine high-performance building systems designed to achieve LEED-Gold certification and outperform energy efficiency standards by at least 20%, and set out innovative approaches to water conservation and management.

R. Flexible, scalable, and efficient open work environments for multiple research programsAKF Group LLC

Dennis Dyer, PE, LEED AP – Partner

Saint-Gobain R & D Facility

David Woodbury – Facilities Project Manager

Reconcile these: open lab environment culture change, multiple research teams, diverse scientific programs, no interior walls, total transparency. What are the planning strategies and facility elements required to get energy efficiency, flexibility, and happy, productive users under those conditions? Here you’ll see the output from town hall meetings and design brainstorming sessions that served as the foundation for Saint-Gobain’s new scientific workspace and operating model. Session leaders examine solutions for support of diverse, contiguous research programs including immediate access to power, waste and displacement ventilation, high utility infrastructure flexibility, and high performance building

systems. AIA HSW
