Quick question: I’m coordinating a wet lab renovation and instrument rollout on a 14-week schedule next quarter and need recommendations for timeline templates (Gantt-friendly), ELN/LIMS options biologists like for clean data collection, and a straightforward safety audit checklist to keep day-to-day work compliant. Bonus if it integrates with shared calendars and lets me track milestones without piling on admin.
For a recent 12-week lab build-out, we used Smartsheet’s free Gantt template and pushed milestones to the shared Google Calendar via iCal; Benchling handled ELN + sample tracking, and a weekly ‘PPE–waste–sharps–signage’ sweep based on ABSA’s checklist kept the chaos at a simmer: https://absa.org/resources/. If you need calendar-native equipment booking, LabArchives + Scheduler is simpler, though Benchling’s integrations take a bit of setup.
