WorkSpace Futures Researcher
Our researchers conducted a study to better understand the challenges and needs of life sciences professionals. The research goes beyond physical spaces to focus on the people who use them and emphasize the dual nature of their workspaces: laboratories for experimentation and surrounding areas for data analysis, collaboration, and rejuvenation.




Disconnected Teams
Lack of Flexibility
The rapid growth of automation and AI has dramatically increased data generation, requiring scientists to manage and interpret unprecedented volumes of complex information.
Collaboration across disciplines and locations is essential, but coordinating efforts and fostering informal yet valuable interactions is a persistent challenge.
Constantly evolving research priorities and experiments demand spaces that can expand, contract, or reconfigure to align with shifting scientific workflows.
Innovation Commons
As the ‘heart of the company,’ it serves as a central hub for connection, community, and belonging. With inclusive, multi-purpose settings, it enables socializing, casual work, and celebrates research, while offering amenities that attract and retain top scientific talent.Collaborative Huddle
Laboratories generate large volumes of complex data and need collaborative space that adapts to variable work needs—supporting data analysis, collaboration, and sharing insights with digital and analog tools. Hybrid conferencing enables seamless collaboration with remote teams.Data Analytics Workstations
Close-to-Lab Workstations
Private Office
This private office offers a quiet, multi-functional space for deep focus, mentoring, and small-group collaboration. It provides areas for individual work, confidential meetings, and knowledge sharing, with outdoor access to support wellness and productivity.Respite Node
This Respite Node offers a quiet space for rest or active rejuvenation, supporting wellbeing with flexible postures, privacy, lighting controls, and access to power. Biophilic design enhances health, focus, and relaxation in a fast-paced Life Sciences environment.
