Leading Research
Minimising Impact
Laboratories are some of the most energy and resource intensive workspaces within the University. But through collaboration, interventions and circular thinking the lab users can have a positive impact towards reducing the impact of the lab space.
The information below can connect you to your local networks, cross campus projects and centrally managed services all of which can work with lab users to make their spaces more sustainability managed, save money and resources.
