New Labs & Close-outs
The Office of Facilities and Safety understands the challenges of moving in and out of a laboratory space. It requires planning and communication between different groups to ensure it is done safely and efficiently.
We have compiled resources and created short surveys to learn more about potential hazards and other research specific needs of your laboratory to aid in the setup, move, or closeout of your space.
