The Equipment Collaborative team has been providing equipment planning for some of the nation’s premier healthcare and research laboratory facilities for nearly 30 years.  Our staff of experienced professionals includes biomedical engineers, architects, facility managers, and procurement specialists, all focused on delivering comprehensive services. 

Equipment Collaborative has been successful in helping technically challenging, high profile projects to open on time and under budget. We also add value to these projects. Our planning and infrastructure strategies produce a flexible framework, capable of supporting a broader range of equipment now and in the future.  We actively manage equipment procurement and installation services with critical path schedules to meet construction and occupancy timelines.

Our firm is a certified HUB (Historically Underutilized Business - Woman-Owned) in the State of Texas specializing in equipment planning for health care and research laboratory facilities. Beginning as an in-house specialty department at FKP Architects in 1976, Equipment Collaborative, Inc. became a subsidiary corporation in 2004 led by President Lisa Charrin, AIA, ACHA.
