Tradeline,
Inc. conference: Research Facilities 2009
San Antonio, Texas
Subject: "Twelve features you need in your next research facility"
Abstract: Research
facility features that scientists and facility planners need to be thinking about have changed. Here are 12 big new features
that should figure prominently in your next project, or you will have to explain why they don't. Dr. Richard Rietz
illustrates the latest examples for open floor plans, high space utilization, multi-disciplinary labs, instrumentation
& automation, core laboratories, wet/dry interchangeability, user-configurable furniture, science-on-display,
plug-n-play utilities, energy reduction tools, reusable labs and lean lab planning. He identifies the driving forces
behind each new development, the "old school" planning traps to avoid, and notable new examples.

Tradeline, Inc. conference: Research Facilities 2008
Boston,
Massachusetts
Subject: "2010 and beyond: The sciences, research processes, and must-have facility features"
Abstract: We
are in the midst of a fundamental change in the way research is done, and that has radical implications for research
facilities. By 2010 even five-year-old standard lab designs and concepts will be uncompetitive with respect to recruitment,
instrumentation support, and research productivity. Dr. Richard Rietz identifies the big science changes to plan
for and illustrates the special features of labs for 2010 and beyond that will be required – features such as quasi-labs, grey
zones, wide-open floor plans, dry-lab predominance, core laboratory zones, scientific computing, special instrument rooms, visualization,
simulation, telepresencing, and reuse capability.

Pittsburgh Conference 2008: Invited speaker at LAB
2015 Symposium
New Orleans, Louisiana
Subject: "New Features in the Laboratory of 2015"
Abstract: The lab of
2015 will accommodate the forces
changing the lab environment today: analytical instrumentation,
simulation/visualization, interdisciplinary research, special function labs,
green science, workflow management, laboratory IS, higher utilization,
international workforce and the Millennium generation. A new lab building type is evolving
with special features: quasi-labs, grey zones, open labs, moveable/removable
furniture, instrumentation carts, overhead service carriers, core laboratory
zones, special instrument rooms, visualization/simulation spaces, reuse
capabilities and tele-prescencing.

Tradeline, Inc. conference: "Research Buildings 2007"
San Diego, California
"The Rise of Core Laboratories: How Major Tools of this Decade have Changed the Labs We Build"
Abstract: The proliferation of increasingly sophisticated analytical research tools has been, and continues to be, the
key to scientific breakthroughs. These tools are now having a major impact on how research buildings are being designed and
operated. Here, Dr. Rietz examines the analytical needs of new scientific processes, the research tools that are being developed
to meet those needs, the increasingly prominent role of the core laboratory, and planning implications for lab buildings.
His findings demonstrate lab building impacts of such fast-moving developments as research automation, molecular imaging,
microscale science, protein analysis, data processing, and more.

Tradeline, Inc. conference: "Research Buildings 2006"
Boston, Massachusetts
"How Major Forces of this Decade are Impacting Laboratory Plans and Details"
Abstract: Major new forces of this decade are affecting not only the kinds of laboratories that are being planned but
also important new details of those labs. Dr. Rietz examines how the forces of small scale science, mass market analytics,
energy conservation, interdisciplinary science, higher security and safety, close-in analytical tools, high volume sample
handling, and molecular medicine are shaping new lab concepts and plans. He profiles some of the latest design examples involving
local clean rooms, flexible utilities, cart laboratory, chilled beams, social spaces, open labs, internal vision glass, weigh
stations, dense lab floorplates, work cells, and core laboratories.

Tradeline, Inc. conference: "Research Buildings 2005"
St. Petersburg, Florida
"The New Labs of This Decade: Themes, Teams, and Tools"
Abstract: Laboratory projects of this decade are being shaped by the emergence of new laboratory types and major new science
forces. Dr. Rietz codifies characteristics of eight new lab types that include trans-disciplinary, nanotechnology, mission-focused,
productivity, urban-oriented, advanced chemical synthesis, bio-defense, and public-private laboratories. He examines the
impact of three major design forces: themes, teams, and tools. He shows examples of key design features occurring in these
buildings, such as open laboratories, day-lit laboratories, linear equipment corridors, community spaces, food services, flex
spaces, specialty labs, imbedded high-performance rooms, safety entries, huddle spaces, collision areas, and underground spaces.

LABbuild 2004 conference (sponsered by CSIRO)
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
"Emerging Features of 21st Century Research Facilities"
Abstract: Dr. Rietz will discuss the forces shaping today's laboratories: the new sciences, improvements in instrumentation,
internal pressures for research efficiency and external pressures on the organisation. He will illustrate how specific forces
are impacting planning, lab design and choice of projects funded.

November 10, 2004
LABbuild 2004
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
"Research Facilities: Trends toward Specialisation"
Abstract: Dr. Rietz will discuss specialized lab facilities, mixed specialty buildings and imbedded specialty spaces.
Examples will be drawn from recent North American lab projects with nanotechnology, bio-safety, imaging, and robotics laboratories.

March 22, 2004
Tradeline, Inc. conference: "Research Buildings 2004"
San Francisco, California
"Newly Emerging Features of 21st Century Labs"
Abstract: Dr. Rietz will continue his discussion of the major new forces already shaping 21st century labs, adding: rational
approach to drug discovery, emergence of liquid chromatography as premier separation tool, team science, Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
and the geography clustering of technology. He will illustrate how each force is already impacting our lab building projects.
