LABbuild 2004 Conference and Exhibition
In November 2004, more than 250 laboratory professionals gathered in Brisbane, Australia, to discuss the design, construction and management of modern laboratories. Presented by CSIRO, one of Australia's largest owners and operators of research facilities, LABbuild focused on the issues affecting research facilities in the twenty-first century. Labs21 was honored to play a key role at this first-of-its-kind event in Australia—offering our one-day Design Course and contributing to various technical sessions. The photos below share some of the highlights from this exciting event.
