The variety of research laboratories, methods and equipment used in such laboratories requires the designer to use the full range of theoretical and practical skills during design.
Design of Research Laboratories (R&D)
Design of research laboratories (R&D)
A scientific research laboratory is a facility designed to conduct various experiments and scientific research. This type of laboratory is very diverse, which greatly affects the equipment and methods used. All this also causes the peculiarities of the design of such objects. Only a professional who has experience working with similar objects can cope with such a task.
Design features of research laboratories
Scientific progress does not stand at home. With the development of technology, more and more innovative equipment appears, which requires competent placement in specially equipped places. For this, it is necessary to develop appropriate design documentation that will allow solving many tasks and properly organizing the laboratory.
The design of R&D research laboratories is influenced by their specific features, including:
- Equipment requirements. Complex devices have certain requirements for installation and connection conditions. When designing, it is necessary to organize the space in accordance with these requirements. The dimensions and weight of the equipment, the conditions of its storage and operation must be taken into account.
- Safety standards. In research laboratories, tests can be carried out using various substances, including dangerous chemical elements. In this regard, it is important to organize the level of safety in accordance with the requirements of labor protection. For this, at the design stage of the R&D laboratory, it is determined with which substances and on which equipment the experiments will be conducted.
- Engineering communications. It is important to ensure conditions in the laboratory in accordance with all requirements. This also applies to the organization of engineering networks. It is important to organize in such a way as to ensure the effective work of scientists and researchers. It is necessary to properly plan the placement of water supply, sewage, ventilation and other systems. Communication is no less important. It is necessary to plan connection to the Internet, telephone and other means of communication.
- Flexibility and scalability. Research and technology are constantly evolving, which means regular upgrades and changes. The design of any research laboratory must be adapted to the possibilities of future expansion, reorganization or other changes.
- Zoning. Laboratories consist of numerous departments and units. Some of them may require certain conditions, for example, isolation, compliance with a certain temperature regime, cleanliness, sterility, etc. During the design process, it is important to properly allocate space and think through the relationships between departments.
When designing research laboratories, a key aspect is the creation of comfortable and safe conditions for the work of employees.
Research laboratories can be designed as separate facilities or adjacent to universities, research institutes or other organizations. Only a competently designed laboratory will ensure accurate research results and successful research activities.
Where to order a research laboratory (R&D) project
The “Technology Project Group” company has been designing medical facilities and other facilities for more than 10 years. Our employees are true professionals in their field, which allows us to quickly and efficiently create projects using an individual approach.
When developing a research laboratory project, we always take into account the wishes of the customer, the area of the premises, the available budget, as well as domestic and international standards.
