Lab Setup For All 7 Packs

I've been watching a lot of Factorio videos and have realized that there are a lot of inefficient designs for science lab setups, IE: lots of inserters, lots of space used, sushi belts, minimal throughput, no beacons, ect, ect....
So i went and made this:
-it allows all 7 science packs to be accessible
-it is tile-able, in a downward snakeing pattern.
-40 labs per blueprint
-each lab is affected by 8 or 9 beacons.
-it is build-able as soon as you have blue belt tech
-the beacons are just there for future proofing the design into the late game
-the space science packs have their own belt in the middle of the design since those may have intermittent influxes of product.

If you have any problems or critiques with it, just let me know.
The factory must grow.

Optically quite interesting.
However since you already went for bots for space science, you can just as well bot in the other 6 and build the plain old 8 beacon per lab rows.

i think thats a blue belt in the middle, not requester chests
Quite interesting, gets rid of fugly belt weaving at the price of uneven beacon coverage

My apologies, it looked like chests to me.
