With heat recovery devices switched off and air flows turned up to the maximum, buildings will struggle to warm up in the early morning.

Significant increase in the approval and use of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) such as cell and gene therapies, which were introduced just 14 years ago.. 400 times increase in FDA clinical trials for new drugs in the past two decades..Rapid expansion of bio-revolution into various sectors like agriculture, consumer goods, bio-services, bio-computing, bio-informatics, and bio-industry..

These advancements, combined with broader societal, political, and economic trends, are projected to double the size of the life science market within the next decade..The challenge: exponential demand, high complexity, & lagging supply.Laboratories support all stages of the life science value-chain, from R&D to manufacturing and diagnostics, and exponential market growth means exponential demand for lab space..

In addition to this rising demand, life science businesses and developers looking to deploy labs face additional challenges, including:.A lack of existing lab space in some locations already today.

In Cambridge and Oxford for example (two of the UK’s main life science hubs), demand for labs now outstrips available supply by nearly a hundred to one.

Existing labs are increasingly not fit for purpose, incompatible with new science, technology, or regulations, or are simply in poor condition.. Supply-chain issues that are also impacting the wider construction industry, such as a shortage of materials or skilled labour, and which are increasingly competing against other major global challenges such as climate change or the housing crisis..The above diagram showcases how Reference Design can be industrialised for efficient construction processes..

Chip Thinking® and Reference Design offer a transformative approach to data centre design.By breaking down complex assets into manageable components and standardising designs, Bryden Wood achieves optimised, flexible solutions that meet diverse client needs..

This methodology not only streamlines the design and construction process but also ensures efficient operation and maintenance, paving the way for future innovation in the industry.In the field of data centre design, striking the right balance between risk management, resilience, and efficiency is paramount.While sticking to proven designs can minimise risks, it can limit innovation and potential optimisation opportunities.
