Three Steps to Launching a Life Sciences Facility

The Life Sciences industry in Boston is expected to double in size over the next decade, occupying around 60 million square feet of commercial real estate. When planning to develop or retrofit laboratory space, it is important to establish responsibility for the systems and services required to ensure optimal efficiency and safety. This includes taking inventory of all necessary systems and services, planning for ongoing activities such as procurement and vendor coordination, and assigning responsibility for each item to a staff member, contractor, or facilities management partner. Outsourcing maintenance and support to a facilities management provider can provide cost control, visibility, and quality assurance. The Lab Start Up Checklist from DENS can serve as a guide for opening and maintaining a Life Sciences facility.
