“Tradeline by far delivers the most valuable conference experience for professionals in our field.”Zoe RizosDirector, Research Facility Planning and OperationsCentre for Addiction & Mental Health

The research workplace is being radically transformed. New lab design concepts, research tools, workflows, socialization processes, and space utilization metrics are forcing new and unconventional solutions for labs, offices, core facilities, support space, and mechanical infrastructure.

At this conference you’ll get the new metrics, facility features, and capital project strategies for the major changes underway in high-technology and research laboratory work environments. The content of this conference has major planning implications for your research facilities, R&D workspace, and lab space renovations, upgrades, and expansions.

This meeting is your opportunity to forge valuable connections with peer research organizations and leading lab planning experts, and you’ll get the details on the new lab, space, and infrastructure support systems that address these new research workplace realities:

• Traditionally independent research programs are converging and moving to shared-resource models

• Space utilization, data-science-based research, and new research workspace models are now top drivers of capital projects

• Less research space is being uniquely assigned, and new space types are emerging

• Socialization within (and between) research groups is now a critical planning factor for researcher engagement

• Legacy space allocation and planning metrics are being revised, and some discarded completely

• Open office plans for research staff and alternative workplace options are gaining traction

• The sharing of research resources has become a major planning priority

• New research workspace standards and designs are delivering greater flexibility and adaptability

• Allocation standards for bench-space are being compressed

• Repurposing of non-science spaces for research is on the rise

• Lab automation is increasing the demand for new types of research workspaces outside of the lab areas

• Spaces for cGMP labs, A.I., robotics research, and computational science are in high demand

• Shared equipment cores are reducing cost, improving collaboration, and raising space utilization

Make this a key planning event for your project team (capital project people, lab planners, facility planners, facility engineers, consulting architects and engineers, operations managers, and research group leaders) to get everyone on the same planning page with respect to the details, numbers, processes, and expectations.

We look forward to seeing you in Scottsdale in April.

The benefits of “science on display” are evident in engaging campus populations, but new methods to engage a larger, constantly refreshed public population provide even greater outreach and engagement potential. Session leaders will examine the effects of co-locating two dynamic programs – research labs and science-based museums – to facilitate connections between university researchers and the public while also encouraging collegial interaction among science departments. They demonstrate what a “neighborhood” approach can deliver in terms of accommodating a variety of research needs and illustrate solutions for engaging the public while creating efficient, flexible, and secure spaces for graduate level science.

O. Low cost, robust shielding solutions for maximum imaging resolution and stability in high EMI locations Vitatech ElectromagneticsLevi Mecham, PE – Vice President of Engineering

Before embarking on new research capital projects involving highly sensitive imaging equipment and ion-beam research instruments, attend this session to get new solutions for the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) problems that could otherwise cripple science programs. Levi Mecham calls upon recent projects that included NION, KRIOS with GIF and other EMI-challenging ion-beam research instruments to demonstrate alternative shielding strategies that deliver equal protection at lower cost. He examines site specific solutions and room design recommendations for mitigating magnetic fields emanating from ramping magnetics, DC electrified trains, moving elevators, diesel trains, vehicles, and all ferromagnetic masses in motion.
