3124: Designing for Innovation: How HED is Transforming STEM Workspaces

What role does design play in shaping the future of STEM innovation? In this episode, I'm joined by Marilee Lloyd, a seasoned architect and Senior Laboratory Planner at HED, one of the most established architecture and engineering firms in the country. With over 38 years of experience in designing cutting-edge laboratory spaces for pharmaceutical giants, biotechnology companies, and top research universities, Marilee shares her expert insights on the evolving world of lab design.

Together, we explore the transformative impact of modern laboratory environments, from fostering collaboration and innovation to addressing the urgent need for inclusivity in STEM. Marilee explains why laboratories are no longer just functional spaces but vibrant hubs that attract and retain top STEM talent.

She also highlights the critical role design plays in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion—both culturally and in terms of facilities. From gender-neutral restrooms to considerations for neurodiverse scientists, Marilee provides an eye-opening perspective on how thoughtful design can drive societal change and enrich scientific discovery.

We also delve into the challenges of balancing sustainability with functionality in lab environments, the influence of technology on design practices, and the future trends shaping these spaces, such as AI integration and immersive visualization tools.

Could better-designed labs be the key to unlocking the next wave of innovation in STEM? Tune in to learn how Marilee and HED are redefining what it means to create spaces where science, people, and ideas thrive. What do you think is the most important element of a modern lab?
