Joining Habit Action has given me a unique vantage point to explore this challenge—and a fresh perspective on designing for the future of science. ![2024 Science Statement](https://science.habitaction.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2024%20Science%20Statement.png?width=1920&height=1080&name=2024%20Science%20Statement.png "2024 Science Statement") In this piece, I’ll explore the challenges, successes, and lessons learned from recent trends in laboratory design and space. I’ll also touch on the broader context of life sciences, offering insights into what the future may hold. To caveat, this is the longest piece of work I have written since leaving university over a decade ago. This piece marks my return to long-form writing, and I hope it serves as the first of many explorations into the future of science and design.

In 2024, the overall cost of an office fit out will vary depending on a variety of factors including size and scope, materials used, labour costs and finishes. Companies may also encounter unexpected costs related to site access and regulatory requirements. Planning ahead can help manage the costs of a commercial fit out as this will allow for research into suitable materials and suppliers, meaning it is important to do detailed research before making any decisions.
