    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Science
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • Current laboratory facilities are repurposed animal pens, presenting significant spatial and safety challenges.
    • Cramped conditions and asbestos-containing materials impede necessary renovations and workflow.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the critical infrastructure deficiencies impacting laboratory operations.
    • To underscore the need for facility upgrades to enhance safety and efficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative assessment of existing laboratory infrastructure.
    • Observation of workflow and spatial constraints.

    Main Results:

    • Workspaces are undersized and inefficient, originally designed as animal pens.
    • Asbestos presence necessitates costly and time-consuming renovations.
  • Hallways are obstructed by equipment and water samples, limiting movement.

    • Conclusions:

    • The current laboratory infrastructure poses risks to employee safety and operational efficiency.
    • Significant investment in renovation is required to address spatial and material hazards.
