Key Outcomes
- Large-Scale Facility Design: Delivered a schematic layout for a 7-story, 55,700 sq. ft. high-tech laboratory.
- Multi-Disciplinary Integration: Engineered specialized zones for analytical, molecular microbiology, biosciences, textile, leather, fuel, electrical, and materials testing.
- Workflow Optimization: Validated horizontal and vertical zoning to separate clean analytical areas from contaminated sample receiving while optimizing personnel and waste transit.
- Equipment Coordination: Strategically mapped 1,500+ equipment items, including vibration-isolated mounts for sensitive machinery.
- Advanced Infrastructure Planning: Integrated complex MEP requirements, including dedicated gas lines, specialized exhaust systems, and pressure-controlled clean suites.
- Future-Proof Modularity: Implemented a modular design grid and flexible casework to accommodate evolving testing technologies.
- Safety & Compliance: Established emergency pathways and strategic placement for fume hoods, eyewash stations, and safety showers.
- Operational Framework: Developed the structural organogram and manpower requirements for functionalizing the laboratory.
