​
The facility encountered several design challenges: lack of flexibility in suite sizes with default size of 550 sq. ft., workstations limited adaptability to the diverse needs of its incubatees in various sectors. The layout was inefficient - Bio suites were near the entrance and instrumentation suites were scattered, single access to meeting rooms, with key cabins - manager, director and secretary being congested, training room required adaptable seating and important rooms like the cafeteria and reception located inappropriately. Additionally, the space lacked essential amenities like service toilets, change rooms, or lockers, proper lighting in areas like conference room & library, and a logical flow for its specialized suites.
​
Design Contribution – Process flow and zoning – Office was added at the beginning of each incubation suite, Instrumentation & Bio Suite with 2 design options – with island and without island, corridors were reduced, dedicated entries for meeting rooms were provided and service areas were shifted to south of the building for personnel and materials with integrated toilets, changerooms, and lockers for mandatory separation of hygiene and workflow, relocation of bio suites to the west for better proximity to ducting and instrumentation suites near gas bank to minimize infra costs. To enhance the working environment, the design prioritized natural light by relocating key cabins - manager, director and secretary to brighter zones, conference room and library near larger windows for ample access to daylight and cafeteria was shifted outside the building to avoid airflow clashing with lab zones. The new aesthetics encouraged visibility and flexibility, featuring a central reception area beneath skylight for visibility, flexible infra - movable cabinet design with wheels, except for the sink for incubatees, training room was redesigned with flip-top tables in 4-seat clusters, increasing required occupancy and room for reconfiguration and flexibility and a vibrant color-coding each labs with rainbow hues for inviting feel combined with visual clarity to ensure a safe, organized, and inviting space.
