Understanding why a piece of laboratory equipment is requested can determine if it’s necessary, or if its process can be combined with another piece of equipment and managed from a user perspective.

For each, the site-specific design activities can be focused on the placement of the buildings relative to each other, arranging orientation to minimise overlooking and overheating (for both the comfort of prisoners and to reduce energy use), maximise views of landscape, and so on.It contributes to overall better design and allows designers to focus more of their efforts on solving the specific challenges relating to a particular site and context.

Standardised solutions lend themselves to efficiencies in construction and the application of DfMA.Operational benefits.Standardised solutions facilitate efficient operation and maintenance, as well as aiding staff and prisoner wayfinding and navigation.. A developmental process, an evidence-based approach.

Bryden Wood had been working with MoJ since 2011, when we helped developed their BIM Implementation Plan.We went on to join the MoJ’s multi-disciplinary designer framework in 2014 and, before PETP, developed a ‘proof of concept’ for the application of DfMA to the custodial estate..

In February 2016, at the beginning of PETP, we conducted research into the aspects of design that can help influence rehabilitative outcomes.

The huge stakeholder engagement effort that informed the new prison design was the biggest piece of research ever undertaken by the department into the effectiveness of prison design and building use.And what are we all doing to make laboratories great places to work?.

The group that came together were energetic, thoughtful, inspiring and thought-provoking.As representatives of those thousands who work in and around laboratories they demonstrated the wealth of talent, skill and energy present in this eco-system.

A system which is at the forefront and front line of the health, wellbeing and opportunities of our society, both today and tomorrow.. To learn more, please get in touch!In the world of pharmaceutical facility design, the.ISPE FOYA Awards.
