Laboratory facilities are complex, technically sophisticated, and mechanically intensive structures that are expensive to build and maintain, and therefore the design, construction, and renovation of such facilities is a major challenge for all involved. Hundreds of decisions must be made before and during renovation or new construction. These decisions will determine how successfully the facility will function when completed and how successfully it can be maintained once put into service. This guide is addressed to the scientist-user and administrator, and therefore focuses on how to have a...

Bei Laboreinrichtungen handelt es sich um komplexe, technisch anspruchsvolle und mechanisch intensive Strukturen, deren Bau und Instandhaltung kostspielig sind, weshalb die Planung, der Bau und die Renovierung solcher Einrichtungen eine große Herausforderung für alle Beteiligten darstellt. Vor und während der Renovierung oder des Neubaus müssen Hunderte von Entscheidungen getroffen werden. Diese Entscheidungen bestimmen, wie erfolgreich die Einrichtung nach ihrer Fertigstellung funktionieren wird und wie erfolgreich sie nach ihrer Inbetriebnahme gewartet werden kann. Dieser Leitfaden...

Les laboratoires sont des structures complexes, techniquement sophistiquées et mécaniquement intensives, dont la construction et l'entretien sont coûteux. La conception, la construction et la rénovation de ces installations constituent donc un défi majeur pour toutes les parties concernées. Des centaines de décisions doivent être prises avant et pendant la rénovation ou la construction. Ces décisions détermineront le degré de réussite du fonctionnement de l'installation une fois achevée et le degré de réussite de son entretien une fois qu'elle sera mise en service. Ce guide...
