A framework for the laboratories in our lives

Below is a diagrammatic expression of one method of organizing laboratories of the world. The idea behind the framework is that you could name a specific laboratory and be able to put it somewhere within the framework. For example:

  • The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation's mobile forensics laboratory[1] would fall under Government > Public > Compliance and Legal > Wet (or Dry) > Mobile.
  • An engineering design laboratory based within a for-profit car manufacturing company would fall under Private > Internal Customer > Research / Design > Dry > Fixed.
  • A chemistry laboratory housed in a secondary school in Germany would fall under Academic > Teaching > Secondary > Wet > Fixed.

The original inspiration for this chart came from Jain and Rao's attempt to diagram Indian diagnostic laboratories in 2015.[2] While their diagram focused entirely on the clinical sphere of laboratories, it was easy to envision expanding upon their work to express laboratories of all types. Additional inspiration came from KlingStubbins architecture textbook Sustainable Design of Research Laboratories: Planning, Design, and Operation[3], which lists several methods for organizing types of laboratories; Daniel D. Watch's Building Type Basics for Research Laboratories[4]; and Walter Hain's Laboratories: A Briefing and Design Guide.[5]

The benefit of this diagrammatic approach — with client type at its base — becomes more apparent when we start considering the other two methods we could use to categorize laboratories, as described by KlingStubbins et al.: by science and by function
