Laboratory planning and design lays the foundation for efficient scientific work. They help provide the types of environments researchers need to uncover groundbreaking medical therapies, make agricultural advancements and develop innovative approaches. Optimal lab design means being able to do this all while improving productivity and minimizing errors along the way. 

Even a small error in lab design can lead to disruptions of research, an increase in mistakes and accidents and compromised experiments, so it’s important that the arrangement of a science lab is to the highest of standards.
