new lab build 🚧

[matt-yml]

After another 2 mergers the current lab either needs to be rebuilt, or it can move. Looking to move the lab downstairs in its own room.

Org: Any kind of rebuilding is necessary to accommodate the new equipment in an organized maintainable state.

Thermal: It's normally 4F cooler down there, and the upper floors can act as a heat sink/well.

Less ventalation will be needed in the winter to move the heat where it's useful, and the equipment will benefit from passive convection cooling in the summer.

Pub: Who knows, maybe interested people can actually tour it someday.
