GL Planning & Design, Inc. (GLP) specializes in planning, architecture, health care and tenant improvement design for facilities with an advanced technology focus. The firm provides a full range of architectural services for the biotechnology and microelectronics markets, and health care, while also providing the educational, institutional and commercial markets with laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and other special purpose buildings. Our staff is experienced in a wide range of projects and works collaboratively with some of the best independent consulting firms in the nation. LABORATORY PLANNING & DESIGN GLP specializes in the programming, planning and design of laboratory and research spaces. Throughout our years of lab planning and design, we have had the opportunity to produce a wide range of spaces for public and private clients within new and rehabilitated buildings. This experience is complemented by the thorough and conscientious preparation of lab fit-out documentation by our seasoned lab staff, assuring the transfer of critical program information into the final project drawings. CLIENTELE Numerous repeat laboratory and research projects with clients such as Stanford University, Stanford Health Care, Solano College, UC Davis, UC San Francisco, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, UC Irvine, USC, USF, Genentech, Amgen, Bayer and Glidewell, speak to the type of quality relationships we build and the fact that we closely monitor the needs of our clients. As part of these relationships, we stress the importance of working closely with and satisfying the needs of both the facilities design staff and the lab users. During the early stages of design, we meet with the users to learn about their needs, and how the design can impact their work. We establish open lines of communication from the early stages of design to the end, as this is our vehicle for success.
