Best Practices in Harvard Labs

There are many examples of successful conservation projects in Harvard laboratory buildings. The table below is a central place for documenting these projects and sharing success stories across the University.  More detailed information about each project, including any materials, cost/savings evaluations, and vendor information, will be available in a separate spreadsheet soon.

Please email any additional projects that you would like to include on this website to Gosia Sklodowska or Jaclyn Olsen, or fill out the Lab Conservation Project Form.
