Science & Engineering Facilities 2026

Attend this conference to benchmark your institution's plans and processes for the renovation, modernization, expansion, and new construction of science, engineering, and research facilities. Here you will see and learn about the latest facility solutions to meet the needs of basic and applied sciences and the many new and rapidly growing fields of study. In particular, you will get the details, metrics, costs, and functional requirements for modern, up-to-date laboratories and core facilities, and spaces for teaching, learning, testing, making, imaging, collaborating, computing, socializing, officing, recruiting, and more. The conference will cover solutions to increase flexibility and adaptability of learning and research spaces, facilitate shared use of spaces and resources, grow research laboratory capacity, upgrade learning and research laboratory work environments, add facility features that will attract faculty and next-gen science students, accommodate the needs of existing programs, support cross- and multi-discipline programs and multiple user-groups, modernize classroom/lecture/lab space plans, fit-ups and configurations, enhance collaboration and connectivity, raise space utilization in existing science and engineering buildings, provide new space types for new program requirements, improve capital project execution for lower costs and faster delivery, support hybrid learning models for science and engineering programs, implement initiatives for decarbonization and electrification, and update science facility master plans.
