• Description:
  Designing a laboratory to address the unique needs of a given area or region is a multi-faceted process with many different things to consider—safety, security, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, current research needs, future research needs, operating standards, etc. The list goes on and on. Approaching the lab design process in an organized and thorough manner can give laboratory teams confidence that they are getting the best outcome for their efforts.
  
  This guide is meant to provide a general overview on some of the core activities included in the lab design process. The information provided should help laboratory teams walk through the design process and implement the activities that will help make the laboratory a success - not just in design, but also in operations.
  
  This guide does not address the details and technical requirements behind good laboratory design, nor does it provide information specific to different lab types. Laboratory teams embarking on a new lab design or lab renovation should supplement the use of this guide with additional resources—such as local or lab-specific standards—and input and guidance from appropriate experts.
