Abstract
At some point, most science laboratories or buildings will require renovations or construction of new space. Renovations may be needed due to a change in the scientific activity, due to an event such as a minor flood or fire, or simply to modernize the space. Because chemistry laboratories are such specialized facilities, it is important that all stakeholders are involved in the project from planning through commissioning. All renovation projects should start with a mission and vision that can guide and anchor the work. A safety professional trained in chemistry and familiar with the needs of the department─ideally embedded in the department─can be an asset to the project team. This paper discusses some of the aspects encountered by an embedded chemical hygiene officer during the renovation of a chemistry stockroom and construction of a multiuse teaching laboratory. Lessons learned are provided to help others be successful with their projects.
