Discover the Future of Collaborative Research Spaces: Webinar Preview
As laboratories continue to evolve, shared lab spaces are rapidly becoming a cornerstone of innovation-driven research environments. On Thursday, June 12, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET, join Lab Design for a free, expert-led webinar—"Designing Shared Lab Spaces: Balancing Functionality, Collaboration, and Future-Proofing"—to learn how to create shared environments that are not only safe and efficient but also flexible enough to meet tomorrow’s research demands.
This webinar is essential for lab end users, operations managers, lab planners, architects, and anyone involved in the management or design of laboratory environments. As shared spaces increase in popularity, so does the need to design them with intention. Whether you're part of a growing life sciences startup, an academic research facility, or a contract lab hub, this session will provide strategies to maximize the potential of your space.
Led by Kelly Sullivan, PhD, Global Director of Operations & Labs at CIC, this discussion dives into the core principles and best practices of shared lab design. Dr. Sullivan brings deep operational insight and hands-on experience in building collaborative, flexible, and efficient lab ecosystems.
What you’ll learn from this webinar:
Shared lab design fundamentals: Understand how shared labs differ from traditional layouts and how to meet the varying needs of diverse users.
Maximizing efficiency and collaboration: Learn how to balance communal and private work zones, improve layout efficiency, and support a smooth workflow across teams.
Future-proofing strategies: Explore how to integrate modular design and flexible infrastructure that can adapt to new technologies and research goals.
Enhancing communication and safety: Discover strategies to manage shared responsibilities, streamline communication, and ensure a cohesive and safe multi-user environment.
This session is approved by AIA CES for 1 LU, making it a valuable opportunity for continuing education as well as operational improvement.
Whether you're a scientist looking for a more functional and collaborative workspace, or a facilities planner aiming to design resilient, efficient lab environments, this webinar will provide practical, actionable insights to help your lab succeed.
Don’t miss your chance to gain expert insights and elevate your approach to lab design. Register now for free and join us on June 12, or on demand afterward!
