Functional Design
Aspects
• Architectural
• Engineering
• Operational
• Safety
• Sustainability
Architectural Aspects
1. Flexibility
Dynamic field. Physical changes are
made
on annual basis. Need to accommodate
that.
2. Expansion
Nearby spaces should be left empty for
future expansions.
Engineering Aspects
1. Structural systems
Since the lab area is constantly changing and a single
large roof is preferred with all load bearing elements
in the ends and no centre pillars.
2. Electrical systems
Requires emergency power supply and uninterrupted
power supply along with normal power supply to ensure
smooth running of everyday tasks.
Operational Aspects
1. Zoning
Divide the total floor area into lab and non-lab zone
to reduce operational costs.
2. Shared equipment
Equipment that is shared with can be put outside the lab
area with separate structure
enclosing it.
3.Standardization
Try to design with standard building components instead
of customized components.
Safety Aspects
1. Safety
Protection of human life and health is
paramount by use of containment devices,
radiation safety and emergency power.
2. Security
Protecting facility from unauthorised access
is also important in present competitive
world.
Sustainability Aspects
1. Minimize overall impacts
Since labs are far more energy intensive
there is a need to reduce carbon footprint
as far as possible.
2. Optimize building efficiency on a life-cycle
Labs are used for a long time and optimising
it for its entire life cycle is a major step in
maintaining its sustainability factor.
Ventilation
1. Lab zone
Needs sealed room to perform sensitive experiment
so advisable to be cooled locally and to required levels.
2. Non-lab zone
This zone is only used for lectures and doing coursework
and hence needs no special requirements as long
as basic comfort levels are met using basic building
design principles.
Lighting
1. Lab zone
Requires specific lighting for some experiments so it is
recommended to glaze all fenestration to block light
from entering inside and the fixing required luminaires for
lighting.
2. Non-lab zone
Requires only general illumination and can be met by
exploiting natural lighting by using skylights and
clerestories.
Acoustics
1. Lab zone
Some experiments require noise control and also sound
coming inside a lab causes irritation and disturbs the
users. So labs must be insulated from outside noises by
using sound absorbing media in their walls.
2. Non-lab zone
This zone is mainly used for coursework and also for
group discussions and lectures. So this area also must
be insulated from noise by using sound absorbing
media.
