Ayni Strang: Project Manager

I understand the physical plant and its relationship to the needs of an evolving laboratory. My partnering with the scientific staff and life science engineers and constructors results in useful and technologically sound lab space. I understand engineering plans (e.g., HVAC, MEP, and security), lab equipment designs and project cost for budget forecasting. Most importantly, I take into account the anxiety scientists may have in getting their needs met.

The scientific research is the business need, therefore my goal is to maintain smoothly functioning labs while adhering to fire and life safety codes in Cambridge without affecting lab work in progress.

Specialties

• Project Management • Space Planning
• Lab and Office Moves • Laboratory Equipment Procurement and Assessment
• Security • Vendor Contract Negotiations • Voice/Data BMS Systems
