Design research and education derive strong benefits from a more explicit use of the scientific method. Design is both art and science. Approaching design knowledge with the scientific method does not and should not negate art’s presence in design; it is simply a matter of focus.

To design a lab that supports both safety and productivity, the design team must start by determining specifications, such as how people will use the lab (including what materials or processes will be used), how many people will be working there, what their roles are, and how much space is needed. This ensures that everything included in the design...
Proper lab design can’t eliminate hazards – many accidents are caused by human error or bad luck – but improper design doesincrease the probability of negative incidents. In addition to putting people at the risk of harm, these incidents ultimately decrease productivity, as they hinder the researchers’ ability to work. Hazards in the lab can range ...
A well-designed lab’s layout provides appropriate storage, equipment, and workspaces. For example, simple cabinets may be adequate for electronics, but chemicals often require more complex storage spaces. By providing the appropriate accommodations, it becomes less likely that lab space will be wasted. In addition, lab users can avoid storing suppl...
When designing a lab, it is crucial to include vital safety features, such as biosafety cabinets, fire protection and detection systems, and emergency showers and eye wash stations. When users know these features are easily available, they can focus on performing their research with a greater measure of security regarding their health and safety, a...
It is important to get a sense of how research efforts in the lab might change in the future – even five or more years out. A design with some flexibility built in will allow you to include features that lab users might not need now, but could benefit from later, such as more and/or moveable workbenches or advanced ventilation for chemical work. “S...
Shifting from conventional, utilitarian spaces to adaptable, technology-driven environments, laboratory design has evolved to accommodate novel methodologies, collaborative approaches, and elevated safety standards. Let's delve into some of the laboratory design trends anticipated to emerge in 2024. 1. Flexibility in Design
