Ali, I recommend starting with reading the FAQ.

http://diyhpl.us/wiki/diybio/faq

For starting groups with shared labs, I think the most invaluable
resource is from the hackerspace community.

http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Documentation
https://labitat.dk/wiki/How_to_start_a_hackerspace
http://hackspace.org.uk/view/Starting_a_Hackerspace

Also check if you have nearby groups:

http://diyhpl.us/wiki/diybio/groups
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_Hacker_Spaces
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_ALL_Hacker_Spaces

You don't need to create a shared lab space of course, perhaps you
just want to know people in your area to collaborate on projects
in-person, etc.
