Maximize Your Lab Design Conference Experience with Hands-On Workshops
At the Lab Design Conference in Orlando, attendees can enhance their experience by adding a hands-on workshop to their ticket—each session offers practical strategies on workflow-driven design, risk management, or code compliance, and with limited spots filling quickly, early registration is strongly encouraged
2026 Lab Design Conference Workshop: Navigating Code Conflicts in Lab Design
Join Jeremy Lebowitz for this special workshop at the 2026 Lab Design Conference to master navigating overlapping lab codes, streamline decisions, and design safer, high-performing labs that reduce delays and costly rework
Modernizing a Science Hub to Enhance Lab Safety and Research Infrastructure
NJIT is investing nearly $20 million to modernize Tiernan Hall’s mechanical, life safety, and laboratory systems, upgrading aging infrastructure to meet current codes, support advanced research, and improve energy efficiency while preserving the building’s legacy
Explosion-Proof Lab Design: Electrical Classifications for Pilot Plants
When your process scales up from milliliters to gallons, a standard laboratory outlet can become a detonator. Here's what architects, engineers, and lab managers need to know about hazardous location electrical classifications before breaking ground on a pilot plant.
Collaborative Robotics (Cobots): Safety & Spacing
As collaborative robots (cobots) break free from traditional safety cages to work directly alongside scientists, laboratory architects must design specialized spatial buffer zones and ergonomic workflows that ensure human-robot collaboration is both efficient and harmless.
Using Occupancy Sensors to Right-Size Laboratory Design
Advances in thermal occupancy sensing and analytics are enabling data-driven laboratory planning by revealing real-world space utilization patterns without compromising privacy
Modernizing a Mid-Century Lab for Current Research
The University of Louisville’s 1969-era Life Sciences Building is closed for a major renovation, replacing outdated mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and safety systems to modernize the facility, improve reliability, and support research and teaching well into the future
Upgrading Viral Clearance Labs for Capacity, Collaboration, and Comfort
The Viral Clearance laboratory upgrade at Minaris’ Philadelphia campus combined expanded capacity, flexible client suites, digital visibility, and upgraded infrastructure to improve workflow, collaboration, occupant comfort, and operational efficiency while maintaining compliance and ongoing lab operations
Lab Design Conference Speaker Profile: Nate Roisen
Nate Roisen will present “Smarter Labs, Safer Labs: Optimizing Design with Hazardous Materials in Mind” at the 2026 Lab Design Conference in Orlando, sharing strategies for proactive hazmat planning, safe and efficient lab design, and lessons from real-world projects
Species-Specific Care Drives the Design of LSU’s Wildlife Hospital
LSU Vet Med is replacing its severely undersized Wildlife Hospital—now treating 2,000 animals annually—with a larger, purpose-built facility designed to support species-specific care, biosecurity, advanced diagnostics, education, and future growth
