Mackenzie is pleased to announce the launch of a new Laboratory Planning and Design practice led by new hire Genie Filipowicz as Senior Laboratory Planner.
The practice expands the firm's ability to support clients with specialized lab programming, planning, and design services across a wide range of research, education, healthcare, public safety, and advanced technology environments.
“Laboratory projects are among the most complex building types, requiring specialized planning that balances scientific workflows, safety requirements, equipment/instrumentation integration and future flexibility,” Filipowicz told the Portland Business Journal.
“Establishing a dedicated laboratory planning and design practice allows Mackenzie to meet that demand while providing clients with integrated expertise from project visioning through implementation.”
