Lab Managers of Reddit- I recently joined a lab at a prestigious institution on the West coast as a Lab Manager. I have experience as a lab manager however that was with a small lab (5 people) and this is at a large lab (~25 people). The main problem is that we are extremely space restricted and I need strategies to best optimize the space we have. I have determined there are two ways I will go about this:

1. Better analyzing our usage rates on common laboratory items such as tubes, plates, media etc.

2. Better lab organization.

Does anyone have any advice on good strategies they've seen? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
