Post Occupancy Evaluation
January 7, 2011
Lab Attributes
Participants were asked to indicate their satisfaction
with lab attributes. In some cases they were asked to
rate the importance of each aspect as it related to
their work process. They were also asked to rate
how satisfied they were with the building’s ability to
support that aspect. Similar questions were asked
during focus group discussions. Highlights of lab
attributes include:
• In general, building occupants are very satisfied
with the size of the lab module, the 4:1 ratio of
scientists per bench, and the amount of lineal feet
with which they need to work.
• Work space for prep and manipulation is
appropriate for the work that is done by each
research group.
• Overall, safety and security protocols are being
met. Focus group participants did not report any
issues.
• Area dedicated to short and mid-term storage is
limiting; causing researchers to store items in
circulation corridors and equipment rooms.
• Shelving above benches is too narrow.
• Researchers are very satisfied with the capacity
and location of data, electric and lab gas ports.
