The project involved the development of a 120,000 SF research and development facility dedicated to pioneering cancer therapies. This facility included specialized spaces such as mass spectrometry labs, cold rooms, cleanrooms, pharmacology labs, cell culture areas, and corporate office spaces. The build-out required coordination with adjacent tenants, as well as seamless integration with the client’s ongoing operations, as employees continued working on-site during construction.
Maintaining uninterrupted workflow for the tenant while ensuring stringent technical standards were met posed significant challenges. The design and construction teams implemented advanced systems to support the sensitive lab environments, including precise environmental controls for temperature, humidity, and air pressure. Specialized HVAC systems and filtration were critical to maintaining cleanroom standards and supporting high-stakes pharmacology and cell culture work.
Despite the complexities of working in an occupied building, the project was completed on time and within budget, with minimal disruption to daily operations. The result was a state-of-the-art facility that enables the client to advance cancer research in a safe, highly controlled environment.
