No. The building requirements for lab space make it infeasible to retrofit existing offices. For instance, lab buildings typically require floor-to-floor heights of at least 15 feet in order to accommodate 5+ feet of mechanicals for every floor. They concomitantly require much larger utility risers between floors, and floors that can support much heavier loads than office buildings.
