About International Conference on Research Facilities
This is Tradeline's 34th annual conference on planning, capital projects, operations and maintenance, cost control for research labs and research facilities. This conference addresses the seven pillars of modern, competitive research space and research buildings. Here they are:
High space utilization,
Low operating and energy costs,
Shared equipment, facilities, and resources,
Open, transparent, interactive, collaborative work environments,
Adaptable space and infrastructure for changing research programs,
Efficient use of scarce capital dollars, and
Robust linkages for translating bench discoveries to entrepreneurial opportunities.
At this conference you’ll get the details on how these performance requirements are being realized in lab modernizations, upgrades, expansions, new construction, building operations management, capital renewal, maintenance, and energy and cost reduction. These details are essential for capital project, operational, and program decision-making, and they include:
Standards for effective interaction and collaboration
Metrics for space utilization and occupancy
Features for flexible research space
Lessons learned in linking research and product development
Findings on bringing old labs up to competitive standards
Examples of decisions that anticipate the future needs of research
Results of operating cost reduction initiatives
New benchmarks for reduced energy use
Policies and programs for sustainability
Assessments of innovative new lab furniture systems
Testimonies on getting the most out of tightly constrained financial resources.
