YOUR DREAMS OUR VISION

The best laboratories help organizations focus on their priority: research.

They are about testing new ideas, measuring outcomes, and making improvements over time to transform not just the laboratory, but the research happening there.

Treating the office, traditional laboratory, and all the workspaces in between as “one big laboratory” is appropriate and perhaps essential for advancing the researcher’s needs and goals.

Where Researchers Spend Their Time

YOUR PEOPLE FIRST

PAST FUTURE

The life sciences industry has evolved during the last ten years. Research and manufacturing has become a more collaborative experience. Our architects and laboratory planners understand the need for your team members to collaborate and socialize to further their professional and personal development. Providing a variety of spaces (indoor and outdoor) for building occupants to hold meetings of different sizes, will improve communication and fuel innovation within your organization.

The Human Factor

Traditional hierarchies are giving way to human networks as a catalyst to behavior. Collaborative networks help fuel innovation and speed. Proximity supports networks and communication between teams.

Our best design occurs when we support the confluence of science, innovation, discovery, and creativity. A Taylor Design laboratory channels new ideas into adaptable facilities that enable critical adjacencies, promotes safety, inspires its users, and controls operational costs.

DESIGNING LABS OF THE FUTURE

TAYLORMADE

Our Science + Technology team believes in designing research/work spaces to fit your unique culture and processes. The innovative laboratories we design:

• Protect the health and safety of users

• Promote collaboration, communication, and interaction: the hallmarks of a successful research environment

• Incorporate modular principles that enable easy adaptation

• Offer flexibility that extends a laboratory’s life by allowing for changes to research program, equipment, and protocols

• Feature attractive environments that help recruit and retain the best talent in the industry

• Integrate sustainable design principles for highperformance, cost-effective lab environments

• Provide energy efficient infrastructure

• Provide highly-efficient floor plates

• Consider serviceability for effective operations and maintenance

• Accommodate future expansion

Create Flexible Environments

• Support rapid change and mobility for all staff

• Allow for choice and customization

• Provide diverse spaces to support unpredictable activities

Support Unconventional Workplaces

• Provide consistent infrastructure for “plug and play” anywhere on site

• Build functional outdoor spaces

Facilitate Innovation

• Create neighborhoods to enable new forms of collaboration and connection

• Provide open space to create visual connections

Use Technology to Connect

• Leverage advanced instrumentation and automation to shrink lab footprint

• Provide more technology infrastructure

• Enable collaboration outside of the organization

Use Branding to Unite

• Use space to communicate brand and purpose

• Use art and imagery to communicate shared mission and culture

Sustainability is Good for Business

• Make buildings more desirable to occupy

• Encourage stewardship and community welfare

STRATEGIES FOR THE TECHNICAL WORKPLACE

WET LABS

Our extensive experience in the planning and design of chemistry and biology research and teaching laboratories includes advisory services for the storage and use of hazardous materials and the implementation of BSL-2 and BSL-3 environments.

UCI ROWLAND HALL CHEMISTRY TEACHING LAB

DRY LABS

Our experience with engineering, physics, computational, microscopy, and laser labs for universities and private institutions helps us to understand the required temperature, humidity and vibration requirements for sensitive instrumentation.

MEETING SPACES

Formal and informal meeting spaces have been and will continue to have their place in life sciences facilities. Size and privacy can vary from space to space, with movable partitions and frosted glass, and acoustical solutions that quiet ambient noise. We design environments that are engaging and conducive to learning and collaboration.

PLACES TO RESTORE AND REJUVENATE

OUTDOOR SPACES

The work place has always needed outdoor spaces for meeting, collaborating, eating, relaxing, and exercising - life sciences facilities are no different. Our design team will work with you to provide these spaces at optimal locations to promote wellness and inspiration to your team.

INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES

We have experience coordinating highly technical spaces and systems for large infrastructure upgrades at major institutions and facilities, including seismic retrofits, sustainable energy systems, and mechanical/ electrical/plumbing upgrades.
