1Some common User requirements, analysis and trends



Provide facilities to attract the best scientists Improve scientific interactions in lab and non-lab space Separate lab space from write-up space Provide adaptability to ever changing scientific requirements with minimal

cost and disruption Improve operational efficiency


The amount of time researchers spend doing traditional bench-style research—nearly a third of their time—has not changed dramatically since the 90’s. The amount of time they spend on travel and in meetings, however, has declined while the time they spend on computer-related research, e-mail, and the Internet has substantially increased.** Source: Fraunhofer Institute - Lab 2020 / R&D Survey

New emphasis on shared secondary laboratory space Primary laboratory space needing to accommodate a wider range of science a dramatic increase in the proliferation of flexible open lab arrangements in

new research labs* rise in collaboration largely driven by the now pervasive use of ICT*
