What If Half Your Cold Storage Isn’t Creating Value? Transforming Hidden Costs into Research Capacity

• Expose the hidden facility impact of cold storage: learn how fragmented inventories, underutilized equipment, and limited visibility contribute to unnecessary space, energy, maintenance, and operating costs across the research environment
• Use data to right-size the cold storage footprint: explore how facility assessments, asset inventories, utilization data, and inventory rationalization can inform consolidation decisions, reduce freezer demand, and reclaim valuable space for science
• Build an infrastructure strategy that scales with research: see how improved tracking, shared resource models, automated high-density storage, and intentional placement of materials across the lab, centralized facilities, and off-site repositories can support long-term capacity, resiliency, and sustainability goals
