LAB TOURS
Step inside the laboratories shaping Dallas.
Some laboratory design lessons are best experienced in person.
Go beyond the conference room with exclusive tours of laboratory environments throughout Dallas. See how planning and design decisions translate into real spaces, explore the connection between design and operations, and discover ideas you can bring back to your own projects.
Three tours will be offered on Thursday, May 13. Choose one morning tour, add the afternoon tour, or experience both for a full day of behind-the-scenes learning.
Why take a lab tour?
See what you can’t experience from a presentation.
Walk through real laboratory environments and see how planning, design, infrastructure, and operational decisions come together in the finished space.
SEE DESIGN IN CONTEXT
Experience laboratory design decisions within real facilities.
CONNECT DESIGN + OPERATIONS
Consider how spaces support the people who work in, manage, and maintain them.
LEARN ACROSS DISCIPLINES
See what architects, engineers, facilities professionals, lab planners, and lab end users notice about the same environment.
BRING IDEAS HOME
Discover approaches and solutions you can reference in your own projects.
YOUR TOUR EXPERIENCE
See one laboratory—or spend the day exploring.
Choose the tour experience that best matches your interests. Select one of two morning tours, then add the afternoon tour to experience another side of laboratory design, research, and operations across Dallas.
