What is the L&B Lab?

The LAB is Landrum & Brown’s research and development unit. Our mission is to harness decades worth of industry knowledge and expertise to develop innovative solutions that support our clients along with promoting industry thought leadership. The LAB promotes knowledge sharing through bi-annual public thought leadership releases, which in the past has included articles on Advanced Air Mobility, energy transition, automation, terminal design and logistics, among others. LAB staff also facilitate internal Forums on new technologies and approaches to airport planning, fostering inter-company collaboration. Finally, the LAB furthers internal R&D through discrete research projects and targeted client outreach. The findings for these research projects, in select cases, will be released as standalone public whitepapers.

L&B is also a leader in industry and technology research through the preparation of several ACRP Reports that serve the airport industry as guidebooks for airport terminal planning, terminal program requirements modeling, and best practices in airport sustainability.
