A research lab is moving into a newly-leased facility.

Meeting with research lab management is the most effective approach because laboratory facilities often have unique requirements such as ventilation, chemical storage, and biohazard disposal that may not have been applicable in their previous location. Relying solely on past records or surveying only a subset of stakeholders may overlook updated safety regulations or operational needs. A direct consultation ensures that current technical and safety standards are met, aligning with best practices in strategic facilities management​.
