Join Diamond Schmitt at the 2024 SLCan Sustainable Laboratory Conference where Associates Martin Kristensen and Catherine Lin will be presenting different approaches the firm has taken on the design of research labs across the country as part of the session Separate but Together: How Two Projects Harmonize Social Interaction with Scientific Discovery on November 19 at 3:15pm EST.

In part 1, Catherine will speak alongside Momir Bosilijicic of Notch Therapeutics and present the brand-new fit-out laboratory facility for Notch at MaRS in Toronto, which is central to a network integrating healthcare, technology, and innovation. In part 2, together with Elizabeth Henson of Cancer Care Manitoba Research (CCMR), Martin will present the CCMR's newly designed and renovated laboratory spaces. Using these two projects as case studies, Martin and Catherine will discuss how laboratory spaces can promote teamwork, transparency, and inclusion; improve safety and workflow; and encourage shared expertise through modular solutions, to create a sustainable research and innovation community.

Principal Nigel Tai and Senior Associate Vincent Goetz will also be presenting at the SLCan Sustainable Labs Conference as part of the session Reduction in Action – Case Studies in Sustainability for the Next Generation on November 20 at 10:30am.

The SLCan Sustainable Labs Conference is a Canadian national forum focused on strengthening the sustainable laboratory community, sharing knowledge, promoting innovation and best practices.
