The document summarizes renovations made to laboratories at the Ambo National Pulses, Oilseeds, and Root Crops Research Center. Key changes included rearranging equipment and materials in laboratories for bacteriology, biocontrol, mycology, entomology, virology, and nematology. Non-functional equipment was moved to storage. Rooms were prepared for custodians, stockmen, chemicals, glassware, and obsolete materials. Challenges included lack of awareness and staff turnover, while opportunities included strong management support and competitive movement among laboratories. Future plans include continuing awareness training, materials sharing, establishing ISO systems, and constructing standardized, high-level biosafety laboratories.
