The Scientific Equipment and Furniture Association (SEFA) has honored KAUST for the outstanding design and innovation of its laboratories. Mohamed Dagher, Acting Director of Engineering & Project Management at KAUST, collected the award on behalf of the University at a SEFA reception during the recent ARABLab 2012 Expo in Dubai. This acknowledgment follows last year’s announcement that leading science and technology publication R&D Magazine had named KAUST their 2011 ‘Lab of the Year’ in the new construction category. SEFA is a co-sponsor of the R&D ‘Lab of the Year’ competition.
The reception was attended by top representatives in the laboratory design and manufacturing field, including a delegation from HOK – the architectural firm that designed KAUST. Before the award was conferred, Joseph Ostafi, Vice President and North Central Regional Leader at HOK, gave a presentation on the unique challenges and considerations in designing our University.
