Award-Winning cGMP Lab Expansion & Renovation for Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing
Turnkey QO Lab Expansion and Renovation Project
Genesis AEC successfully led a comprehensive cGMP lab expansion and renovation turnkey project for a leading US-based multinational pharmaceutical company, designed to enhance their vaccine production capabilities. This included a new 16,000 sq. ft., 3-story steel structure with a fully insulated metal panel skin, housing two floors of state-of-the-art lab space, an autoclave, a glass washer, office space, and a mechanical penthouse.
Integrated Design and Construction Services for cGMP Lab Expansion
Our integrated approach streamlined the project delivery process for this cGMP lab expansion. Specifically, we handled all aspects of design and construction, including:
- Architectural Design: Creating a functional and efficient layout for the new lab space and office areas.
- Engineering Design: Designing robust MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) systems to meet the stringent demands of a cGMP-compliant facility.
- Equipment Procurement: Leveraging our Asset Management team’s expertise to procure and install essential laboratory equipment, including autoclaves and glass washers.
- Commissioning: Thoroughly testing and validating all systems to ensure optimal performance and compliance with cGMP standards.
Sterility Lab Upgrade and Office Optimization
In addition to the new construction, Genesis renovated existing spaces within two interconnected buildings as part of this comprehensive cGMP lab renovation project. Notably, this included upgrading a sterility lab with four hard-walled isolators, replacing outdated soft-walled isolators. Furthermore, we also optimized existing office spaces to enhance workflow and productivity.
Overcoming Challenges and Achieving Recognition
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, our team seamlessly transitioned to virtual design and construction reviews, ultimately ensuring the timely completion of this complex cGMP lab expansion and renovation project. Consequently, this adaptability and commitment to excellence led to the project receiving the prestigious 2022 Construction Users Roundtable (CURT) Construction Industry Project Excellence (CIPE) Award.
Sustainability and Universal Design
Genesis is committed to sustainability and inclusivity. Therefore, this project reflects those values through the pursuit of LEED Silver certification, showcasing our dedication to environmentally responsible design and construction. Similarly, the project’s achievement of Universal Design distinction demonstrates our commitment to creating accessible spaces for everyone.
