R&D Buildings Design & Projects

ScienceGen staff have designed and delivered <$500m of capital projects within the US and UK. This gives them unique insight into the concept design needs and legislation required to deliver specialized laboratory and scientific areas projects.

Sustainable Laboratories

Historically laboratories and science facilities have been delivered to a need and user specification without due regard to environmental sustainability. The world is starting to recognize that buildings provide over 48% of the carbon emissions and that it is increasingly imperative that buildings are designed to meet environmental standards and compliance. ScienceGen has been active in this area for many years and can provide expertise and knowledge to support your projects be it new designs or conversion of existing real estate.

Laboratory Utilisation studies

Laboratories are complex areas which are often misunderstood and appear to be empty. Science has changed from a hands on intensive environments to many automated equipment and robotic occupied areas without the perceived presence of people. This highlights a number of ways in which space can be defined or reconfigured to meet these changing needs.

ScienceGen has conducted laboratory utilisation studies and worked with scientists to understand their requirements not just from a physical perspective but also from a personal and sense of well being. Creativity is often inhibited by the operating environments and many organisations have benefited from understanding the aspects of the working environment that support innovation and more importantly those that inhibit it.

Simple things such as access to day light, management of noise, availability of space for quiet thinking and use of colour can add value and enhance the working environment for many people. Couple this with ease of access to equipment and places to talk and interact with colleagues offer enhanced working environments that increase productivity and deliver stimulating work environments.
