Lab designers are always striving to better understand the needs of lab scientists—the end users who our spaces are designed for. In practice, this means continuing to broaden our communication channels with scientists.
At SMMA, we are doing this in two ways: by learning more about the scientific work being done in the spaces we are designing, and by participating in educational programs.
These programs, run by science organizations such as I2SL, My Green Lab, NEBSA, Lab Design Conference, Lab Manager, and Harvard School of Public Health, allow multiple stakeholders to share their expertise on a particular topic.
To learn more about how SMMA is integrating scientific knowledge into our lab design practice, reach out to Adrian Walters.
Adrian is a Principal and the Life Sciences Market Leader at SMMA. He oversees lab planning, programming, and design while providing his expertise on complex vertical and horizontal additions, multi-phased renovations, interior fit-outs, and new stand-alone science facilities. Adrian provides a balanced, holistic vision for his clients, incorporating adaptable frameworks for programs and buildings so through time they maintain their purpose and remain sustainable.
