It can be taken for granted that lab infrastructure is highly important. But what about the architecture of buildings? Perhaps scientists are more motivated and doing better when they work in a nice building. Of course, whether someone likes the architecture is highly subjective. Other aspects probably matter more, in particular the team and the functionality of the lab. Nevertheless, working in a nice building might also play a role. What do you think?
I actually think it's psychologically easier to do better work in a building whose architecture and style you like. The sense of pride in being in a nice place tends to make you want to have your work measure up to the quality of the place.
Dear Dr MacGregor,
Thank you very much for your opinion. I completely agree with you.
Yours sincerely,

I totally agree with Dr Kirk MacGregor ....if a nice building and infrastructure is complemented with excellent team members, the scientists will do better and wonderful research.....

No doubt about that. There was a study in UK about the effectiveness of nice building on the students' performance, the study found that buildings with a nice architecture and design significantly affected 73 percent of the changes in student academic performance.
Dear Dr Hadeel Saleh Haj Aliwi,
thank you very much for your excellent answer. I appreciate this a lot. Do you by any chance remember who were the authors of this study?
Yours sincerely,
Rainer
