There are several factors that need to be considered when evaluating if an existing building can accommodate life science requirements.&nbsp; These range from the layout of the building and its core, the structure of the building and of course the infrastructure systems that support the building use. The requirements for lab space vastly differ from traditional office space. Certain assets may be better positioned than others for conversion to lab ready use based on existing infrastructure, property agencies and construction type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" class=\"wp-image-8976\" style=\"width: 60px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wbcnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/PDF_Icon_New.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/td><td><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Bala_Office_to_Lab_Conversion_WBC.pdf\"><strong>PDF Presentation<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" class=\"wp-image-8978\" style=\"width: 60px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wbcnet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Video_Icon_New-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/u5NSBvXuEqc\"><strong>Video Presentation<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 22, WBC member BALA Consulting Engineers presented the Office to Lab Conversion webinar.&nbsp; The webinar was presented by [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3929,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"table_tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
