S-Lab is a response to the need to create more effective laboratories arising from financial, customer, user, regulatory and other pressures. Mainly funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), it has been focused on universities, but now has increasing involvement with commercial and public sector laboratories. S-Lab outputs include assessment tools, benchmarking, best practice dissemination, networking and other activities.
The S-Lab entries covered a range of topics, including best practice design of new and refurbished lab facilities, the importance of technical support and environmental improvement actions.
