TRADELINE MAY 2013 International Conference on Research Facilities Flexibility and Adaptability: How They Affect Design, Systems and Cost Research Facilities Design Leslie Ashor, AIA, LEED AP, Laboratory Consultant Paul Lemestre, PE, LEED AP, Director of Engineering

Flexibility and Adaptability: vary by Research Focus different for each Project included in overall Building Plan and Infrastructure

THE TRADELINE THREE

PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Defining Flexibility and Adaptability Building Considerations Laboratory Configuration Systems and Infrastructure

DEFINING FLEXIBILITY AND ADAPTABILITY

Flexibility: Same space for several kinds of research Ability to accommodate change with minimal expense & disruption Reconfiguration options

Adaptability: Could be changed to accommodate various research functions Ability to accommodate change with moderate expense & disruption MEP infrastructure, structure, building elements already in place

BUILDING CONSIDERATIONS

Structural Grid Structural System Floor to Floor Height Location of Circulation Placement of Building Core Functions Planning for Future Reconfiguration

LABORATORY CONFIGURATION

Lab / Lab Support Ratio Area/Researcher Lab / Lab Support Relationship

LABORATORY CONFIGURATION

Greater Flexibility
