Architecture has always been used to make statements about what science is and how it should be done, and consequently the architecture of buildings influences the fruit of researchers’ work. From the concept of the “dry” or “wet” lab to the openness of spaces and the use of glass, the article offers a landscape of architectural studies, obsessions, and fashions in the construction and restructuring of the field laboratory and research buildings.

Making the what, when, and who of non-drug treatments easier to understand would benefit researchers and readers. Using a single graphical representation could clarify descriptions and would prompt researchers to focus on the structure and timing and ensure appropriate comparisons. Readers would be able to see the differences between comparison groups immediately.
