Design to Value: built assets that deliver on all fronts.
The thing that will make the biggest difference at the moment, she says, is the productisation - connecting those products upfront in the platform to provide connectivity for designers and makers.. “And I think that's why what you're doing at Bryden Wood is so cool.
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..Lab projects that are relatively complex, with key issues including compliance (quality, safety, environment, permitting), difficulty in predicting the future (science, technology, sales forecasts), multiple stakeholders, and projects that require significant coordination during design and construction.. To solve this mounting challenge we need a solution that can deploy labs at speed..
Rapid Deployment with Fast Lab.
Maximise Lab Design with Fast Lab.External CFD analysis plays a crucial role in data centre design by assessing the risk of hot air being entrained by cooling equipment.
We can identify potential design risks and understand prevalence and impact.At Bryden Wood, our team utilises CFD analysis from pre-planning to detailed design stages, leveraging its insights to navigate the dynamic nature of site massing and reconcile technical requirements with local regulations.
This helps optimise the process and allows architects to test options that may reduce the building footprint and massing..External CFD is also a great tool for site-agnostic design.
