Case Study: Reducing Requirement for Laboratory Floor Space by 28%
The Challenge
Space program (concept design) and proposal produced by the architect-engineer (A-E) company did not meet the business expectations.
The Solution
Utilized occupancy data to benchmark space metrics applied to the scientific groups who were part of the space relocation.
The Outcome
Moved NJ campuses and 325 scientists from seven departments to Massachusetts to improve external collaborations, creating $20M in savings and the ability to repurpose one-year R&D budget.
Case Study: Densified Existing Underutilized Laboratories by 150%
The Challenge
The organization had six underutilized laboratory buildings occupied for the past 20 years.
The Solution
eLABorate was used to examine occupancy and equipment utilization, along with a pilot study to validate the potential strategic optimization of the buildings. We retired underutilized equipment, increasing occupancy of the lab space.
The Outcome
We realized new value through disposal, reducing the overall footprint by 15% and decreasing overall facility operating costs with a two-year ROI.
Case Study: Saved Scientists 27% in Lab Maintenance Costs
The Challenge
We were asked to help reduce service maintenance costs on the lab asset fleet by eliminating underutilized equipment.
The Solution
We compared the utilization data to service and maintenance costs to identify the value of fleet optimization.. We eliminated equipment used less than 10% of its full capacity, and we used occupancy and equipment utilization data from the client’s temporary lab while the new building was under construction to redefine space metrics.
The Outcome
We helped the lab accommodate a 20% increase in headcount to meet their growth targets, along with reducing maintenance costs by 27%. We also helped them by not extending any leases on temporary buildings.
Case Study: Reduced Existing R&D HQ Campus by 150,000 SF
The Challenge
Improve the preferred adjacency of scientific groups collocated to enhance interaction, communication and collaboration. Additionally, we were tasked with exploring an opportunity to exit locally leased office space to allow employees back to campus.
The Solution
By benchmarking occupancy and space data, CBRE was able to right-size space allocations and improve scientists’ relative locations. By benchmarking occupancy and space data, CBRE was able to right-size space allocations, eliminating 150,000 SF of excess space while improving scientists' relative locations.
The Outcome
We helped consolidate 850 scientists from 53 different scientific groups, improving preferred group adjacencies on the main campus and increasing.
