BOOK EXCERPT:

DESIGN and PLANNING of Research and Clinical LABORATORYFACILITIES In this primer/professional reference, Leonard Mayer demystifiesone of the most complex architectural specialties. An architectwith more than thirty-three years' experience as a master plannerand programmer of laboratories and clinical facilities, Mr. Mayeroffers a comprehensive overview of the fundamental issues relatedto laboratory planning and design. He also provides designers witha clear and rational framework through which to approach thishighly challenging and rewarding design specialty. A superblearning tool for students and professionals just getting startedin lab design and a valuable one-volume reference for theexperienced professional, Design and Planning of Research andClinical Laboratory Facilities features: * Step-by-step guidance through the complex maze of codes,specifications, standards, and official guidelines, relating to theplanning, design, and construction processes * New and updated design criteria based on the most recent laws andregulations * Master plans, facility programs, functional programs andrequirements programs for a wide variety of scientific and medicaldisciplines and support facilities * Comprehensive lists of relevant codes, regulations, standards,guidelines, and important architectural, structural, mechanical,electrical, and plumbing criteria Research and clinical laboratory facilities are, perhaps, the mostcomplex structures to plan and design. Intimidated by a vast andseemingly impenetrable body of codes, regulations, and designcriteria pertaining to lab design and construction, manyarchitects, unfortunately, choose to avoid what can be one of themost profitable and professionally rewarding areas ofspecialization. Written by an architect with more than thirty-three years ofexperience as a master planner and programmer of laboratories andclinical facilities, this book demystifies the process oflaboratory planning and design. It provides a comprehensiveoverview of the fundamental issues related to laboratory design andoffers readers detailed, step-by-step guidance through the complexmaze of design specifications and codes, standards, and officialguidelines that must be addressed during the programming, planning,design, and construction process. Focusing mainly on laboratory programming, planning, and designcriteria for "wet" laboratory environments, Leonard Mayer providesexamples from numerous master plans, facility programs, functionalprograms and requirements programs applicable to a wide variety ofscientific and medical disciplines, and related facilities. Relatedfunctions and activities include administrative offices, computercenters, core service and support, building services facilities,and more. He presents new and updated design criteria based onrecent laws and regulations and supplies readers with comprehensivelists of relevant codes, regulations, standards, guidelines, andarchitectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbingcriteria. Design and Planning of Research and Clinical Laboratory Facilitiesis an excellent primer for architecture students and newcomers tothe field, as well as an indispensable single-volume reference forexperienced professionals. It is also an invaluable resource forresearchers and investigators, facility planners and managers,plant engineers, and all others involved with the design,construction, maintenance, and administration of laboratoryfacilities.

Laboratory Design Construction And Renovation

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Laboratory facilities are complex, technically sophisticated, and mechanically intensive structures that are expensive to build and to maintain. Hundreds of decisions must be made before and during new construction or renovation that will determine how successfully the facility will function when completed and how successfully it can be maintained once put into service. This book provides guidance on effective approaches for building laboratory facilities in the chemical and biochemical sciences. It contains both basic and laboratory-specific information addressed to the user communityâ€"the scientists and administrators who contract with design and construction experts. The book will also be important to the design and construction communitiesâ€"the architects, laboratory designers, and engineers who will design the facility and the construction personnel who will build itâ€"to help them communicate with the scientific community for whom they build laboratory facilities.

Methodology For The Preliminary Design Of A System Of Integrated Clinical Laboratories

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Clinical laboratory testing is used for deriving patient diagnoses, monitoring treatment and predicting the expected outcome of a disease (prognosis). Thus, the performance of clinical laboratories is critical for our healthcare systems and it is determined by the precision and accuracy of the test results, turnaround time and laboratory costs. This thesis presents a methodology for the preliminary design of a system of integrated clinical laboratories (PDL) which, if applied correctly, can improve turnaround time and laboratory costs, among other metrics, providing an efficient physical configuration of the clinical laboratory space and an efficient process to achieve those objectives. The preliminary design phase is where requirements are developed, and several solutions are outlined; where a focus on the clinical laboratory processes allows form to follow function. The PDL methodology has three stages: Stage 1 formulate the concept; Stage 2 develop design alternatives; and Stage 3 evaluate alternatives. The first stage is where the concept of the clinical laboratory is generated and where data and information are collected and transformed into requirements and processed information. The second stage is where the different preliminary designs alternatives are developed. And the third stage is where the designs are evaluated using criteria determined in Stage 1. The final results are a set of preliminary designs and a design package that organizes all of the information generated during the three phases of the PDL effort. The stages are not strictly sequential, since there are continuous feedback loops between them. Throughout the PDL methodology different concepts derived from different disciplines can be applied (e.g., facilities planning and design, lean management, project management, systems architecture, multiple-criteria decision-making, operations research). The clinical laboratory of Seattle Children’s Hospital is the case study of this thesis where the PDL methodology was successfully applied. The PDL methodology served the purpose of initiating the facility design for the clinical laboratory and preparing them to participate in the overall construction project of their new building.
