Laboratory design can present an interesting architectural challenge: that of creating a visually appealing structure that houses cutting-edge equipment. The visual appeal has a two-fold function; it can attract the “best and brightest” employees and cause them to stick around longer. A nice place to work, in this field, is one that is both practical and attractive. As for the building’s function, an engineer’s merits are truly tested here. In a laboratory, successful research, innovation and invention depend on practical and efficient building engineering. In addition, sustainability issues play an ever-increasing role.
