Changing regulations, skilled labor attraction and retention issues, increased sustainability goals, and rising costs are just some of the challenges facing the global lab community.

However on top of these common planning, design, and regulatory challenges, lab owners on the West Coast are facing unique complexities such as aging stock, high costs, environmental challenges, and state-specific regulations.

To overcome these barriers and ensure they remain competitive in a dynamic market, managers are reassessing and redesigning their lab facilities to ensure they are sustainable, efficient, cost-effective, and occupant-centric.

Join us at the Lab Facilities West Summit to uncover key strategies, insights, and best practices to overcome unique challenges in an interactive and collaborative environment.
