Q: What does programming accomplish?
research and analysis
visioning
Synthesize existing information
Engage stakeholders to establish common goals
develop space list
engage user groups
Identify building population, needs and synergies
test organization Create “block and stack� organizational concept
Focus on particular needs through highly collaborative work sessions
future proof Incorporate needs for future expansion and adaptation over time
tour best in class Create a common frame of reference
establish room data Diagram spaces, identifying equipment clearances, mechanical requirements and finishes
play back Develop and finalize program with comments and feedback
A: programming Programming is a critical first step, establishing clear vision and common understanding amongst key stakeholders. Through a series of interactive work sessions, we establish requirements, sizes and adjacencies, leading to a strategy that informs the design approach.

A: adaptability The lab environment must accommodate the path of the research itself. To this end, the lab can be designed as an extraordinarily flexible tool, perhaps the largest and most sophisticated piece of research equipment-allowing reconfigureation in hours or days, not weeks or months, giving researchers maximum control of their lab environment

On average, green buildings benefit as: Energy use decreases by 24-50% Water use decreases by 40% Solid waste decreases by 70% Operating costs decrease by 8-9% Building value increases by 7.5% Return on investment improves by 6.6% Occupancy ratio increases by 3.5% Source: Environmental Information Administration and McGraw-Hill Construction, 2008
A: payback Labs are notorious energy consumers. There are huge opportunities for lab designers to recoup owners’ costs through strategies that reduce energy use. Organizations that reduce their life cycle energy costs are then positioned to invest more into actual research--the principle focus of any research facility.
