Laboratory and R&D

Universities, Laboratories, Laboratory and R&D facilities, and other scientific spaces around the world require tight control of environmental factors to ensure integrity of experiments and ensure worker safety.

Laboratories used for scientific research take many forms because of the differing requirements of specialists in the various fields of science and engineering. In addition, A physics laboratory might contain a particle accelerator or vacuum chamber, while a metallurgy laboratory could have apparatus for casting or refining metals or for testing their strength.

chemist or biologist might use a wet laboratory, while  psychologist’s laboratory might be a room with one-way mirrors and hidden cameras in which to observe behavior.

Moreover, Scientists in other fields will use still other types of laboratories.  Also, Engineers use laboratories as well to design, build, and test technological devices.

In addition, Despite the underlying notion of the lab as a confined space for experts, the term “laboratory” is also increasingly applied to workshop spaces such as Living LabsFab Labs, or Hackerspaces, in which people meet to work on societal problems or make prototypes, working collaboratively or sharing resources.

Finally, this development is inspired by new, participatory approaches to science and innovation and relies on user-centered design methods and concepts like Open innovation or User innovation.  Also, One distinctive feature of work in Open Labs is phenomena of translation, driven by the different backgrounds and levels of expertise of the people involved
