Description:
Please join IFMA Boston’s R & D Network for a presentation that will help you better understand what it takes to prepare for a move to new lab space.
As companies grow and change, moving from an established location to a new laboratory facility is an inevitable step in the evolution of a company. This can be a stressful, disruptive, and expensive event. In the process, the operational and facilities staff is given additional move responsibilities, even though they often do not have experience to lead and manage such an infrequent adventure.
Our panel will apply the experience of an owner, real estate advisor, architect, engineer, and builder to analyze the timeline of activities from the decision to move to a new facility to the actual move in and start up. We will share what we know, so you can engage the experts knowing what to expect from each of them so that your move to your new facility is predictable and successful.
Leasing space, design, programming, budgeting, and timelines can all be confusing. Let the experts explain step by step how to navigate through the entire project. This will be an excellent opportunity to explore a real world scenario. We will encourage attendees to ask questions and hope to take the mystery out of the process.
