A Holistic and Futuristic Approach to Cultivation Design

About This Event:

It all starts with great design.  Data-backed conceptual floor plans, manufacturer collaborations with Architect/MEPs, and bending process design software for automated build-out constraints…there are a lot of ways in which this industry is pulling together equipment selection and process design engineering know-how in order to size properly and begin production faster.  In this presentation, two industry leaders, Dr. Rebecca Knight and Mike Anderson, from Hawthorne’s Professional Technical Service Department, will present their findings with open questions and interaction from the audience.

Rebecca will focus on the evolution of design services for integrating cultivation equipment, and how data and technology are being harnessed for new product development and cultivation design optimization.  Mike Anderson will touch on strategies for construction build outs that result in a consistent brand across multiple new and existing facilities, and the ways in which industry partnerships are forming between manufacturers and Architect/MEPs.  Impact questions include: how much can be saved/profited by completing build out 6 months faster?  How does utilization space, room size ratios, and multi-tiers impact the ideal conceptual floor plan?  How well do my Architects/MEPs know and specify cultivation design, including irrigation zones and calculations as well as HVAC loads that are dependent on cultivation styles?  Join Rebecca and Mike on June 15th for an engaging discussion on these topics and more.
