title: Facility redesign for your future laboratory requirements.
abstract: Laboratories must adapt to rapid changes in equipment technology and fundamental changes in the business of health care. A project begins with the creation of a project team representing the laboratory, administration, facilities, architects, and engineers. Each phase of the project works through the various issues affecting the facility, culminating in documents for the actual construction. Review of the codes, the existing physical facility, and the costs associated with the changes are all important in achieving an efficient laboratory.
