Most University research spaces and operational programming are developed to fit into existing buildings and departments.  At Yale West Campus, a former pharmaceutical research and manufacturing complex, there is the ability to develop both research operations and laboratory renovations with calculated programming guiding laboratory and support space design. A Safety driven partnership with Research Operations, leveraging a Yale mentorship pilot program, resulted in enhanced outcomes for both entities during rapid campus growth.  Immersion in the areas of research programming, faculty recruitment, facilities design and construction, sustainability, and centralization of research support services enabled Safety to have a voice in construction planning and implementation of developing campus operations. Several case studies will be presented to demonstrate how deliverables were structured within a mutually beneficial mentorship framework.
