Conversion of existing buildings
Prudent planning before interfering with existing buildings Converting existing buildings to a new use is difficult but not impossible. The conversion, renovation or extension of existing buildings requires precise project development. Legal regulations must match the structural conditions. This starts with the room height, which must fit despite subsequent installations, and ends with the load-bearing capacity [...]
BCSU - World's first germ collection head with integrated agar
