When thinking about planning your own lab space, where do you start and what considerations should you include?

The journey from needing new space to Day-One operations in that new space is a long and complicated one; this workshop offers a map to help you get there.

This complimentary webinar is designed to be an educational resource on moving and/or expanding into new space, either from an incubator, sub-leased, or currently leased space.

Meet your team (see bios below)!
