Since the last patent underlying the brick design expired in 1978 there are numerous legitimate systems such as Megaconstrux and Kre-O which are dimensionally identical to, and therefore compatible with, Lego bricks.. For the purposes of this article, however, I am even more interested in a company called Brick Link.
She points out that 10-15 years ago she wouldn’t have been able to get in the room with the kinds of big companies she’s meeting with now.These days they’re coming to her for help and she’s passionately excited about the change happening right before her eyes.. “What we have to recognise,” she says, “is we're counting on each other, and we have to make sure that we're all doing the right things because it’s so connected.”.
She reminds us that.facilitating a. successful.shift to industrialised construction.
isn't just about the technology and the software tools, but about creating the right processes, having the support system from government and building departments, and authorities having jurisdiction.. “By the way,” she says.“I started saying industrialised revolution because I truly meant it.
This is a revolution.
There used to be days when I felt like I was carrying a heavy backpack full of rocks uphill.Regarding flexibility, science and technology are evolving rapidly, which means new processes, equipment, and requirements.
Furthermore, the life science industry is very fast-moving, and businesses are routinely scaling-up or going bust.Flexibility is therefore vital not just for businesses and tenants, but also for developers looking to ensure buildings remain occupied.
In our experience, open plan offices with 7.2m grids and above are best suited to flexible lab conversions as these enable a wide range of bench configurations, larger equipment, subdivision into smaller rooms, as well as compliant installation of future MBSCs (microbiological safety cabinets) and fume cabinets.Some extra space for unexpected changes or new technology introductions will almost certainly be beneficial in the long-run, and consideration should also be given to areas outside the main lab, such as the impact of automation or remote working on write-up and meeting areas.
