This session examines the benefits that the latest construction technologies can deliver for your next research facility construction project, the limitations to be aware, and the key details that determine successful outcomes. Ellen Sisle and Tejoon Jung illustrate how modular construction and prefabricated components are improving cost efficiency, accelerating schedules, enhancing quality, increasing sustainability, and creating safer jobsites with reduced noise and vibration. They highlight caveats to factor into project decisions, including impacts to lab design, transportation logistics, and cost escalating elements. They profile recent case studies and deliver valuable best practices and lessons learned.
