I really liked the advice to view the lab space through the eyes of the student. I have been trying to incorporate more elements that make students feel welcome and comfortable while also working to modernize the space so they feel they are receiving the best possible learning experience. At the same time, treating the classroom and laboratory as a simulated worksite, where students are expected to follow real-world standards and requirements, can help them develop the discipline, professionalism, and work habits they will need for positive career growth.
