Laboratory relocation at Eiland Zwijnaarde / Tech Lane
A laboratory relocation at Eiland Zwijnaarde, Campus Eiland of Tech Lane Ghent, requires coordination between research teams, building management and specialist contractors. VM360° brings instruments, samples, utilities and responsibilities together in one laboratory move plan. Transfers between Campus Eiland and Zwijnaarde Technology Park require separate departure and receiving preparations.
Discuss your relocation →Support from Aalter, with on-site attendance as agreed.
Prepare your site
Coordinating research, equipment and restart
- Assign every instrument a destination and have the technical owner confirm power, data, gases, ventilation and space.
- Have the laboratory owner define conditions for samples, reagents, temperature-sensitive materials and any required decontamination.
- Coordinate access, goods lifts and receiving capacity with building management and the appointed mover.
- Schedule reconnection and required checks with specialists; the authorised owner releases the instrument for use.
From analysis to handover
An approach shaped around your operations.
Budget and contractor selection
A supported estimate and comparable quotations inform decisions. Assumptions, exclusions and changes remain visible.
More about this step →Building and workstations
Access, IT, utilities and outstanding issues each have an owner. Authorised people confirm what is ready for use.
More about this step →Planning and instructions
Move phases reflect operational needs. Teams and contractors share instructions for timing, labels and destinations.
More about this step →Coordination and decisions
We coordinate actions and dependencies. Deviations reach the right decision-maker; on-site attendance during the move is agreed as part of the assignment.
More about this step →Handover and aftercare
Reported issues and outstanding items are followed up. We record who takes over and when an item can be closed.
More about this step →Clear responsibilities
You choose the partners. We coordinate the interfaces.
VM360° provides independent advice and coordination. Transport, technical inspections and specialist work remain with the appointed contractors. Your organisation decides on budgets, contracts and the release of move phases.
Practical questions
Can a laboratory move in phases?
We review dependencies on shared instruments, rooms and support with research teams. Phases are agreed once departure, temporary operations and restart conditions are clear.
When should we start?
As soon as a relocation or site change becomes concrete. Scope, building availability, IT and internal decisions determine the preparation time, which we establish together.
What does the support cost?
This depends on scope, the number of sites, phasing and the required attendance. We define the assignment and expected outputs before preparing a proposal.
