'''FamiLAB''' is a community lab/hackerspace located in Central Florida. Familab has approximately 80 members, and has been in operation since 2009.
FamiLAB approached GenSpace looking for guidance on adding DIY Bio to their offerings, and is now in the process of implementing the Open Lab Blueprint.

FamiLAB is in the process of moving from a 4000 sq ft space to a 6000 sq ft space, and has been consulting with GenSpace on the layout of the area that will be dedicated to DIY Bio.

Our first step was to assess the level of interest within the lab and within the community. GenSpace provided sample descriptions of possible workshops, and we conducted surveys at our open houses, and at our annual makerfaire.
Since our members have a strong background in robotics, we held a meetup to build an OpenTrons fluid handling robot. This was a great event, people with wetlab experience showed up, learned some robotics, and taught the robotics folks a thing or two about how a wetlab should be set up.
