MilliporeSigma Spruce – Project Sambuca

Converting an empty shell into a fully equipped facility required meticulous planning and flawless execution. Within the 1,645 square feet dedicated to the BSL2 Lab, precision was paramount. Installing new sanitary waste systems, hot and cold water setups, and tempered water connections to accommodate lab sinks, eyewash stations, and safety showers ensured safety compliance and functionality. The freezer farm, spanning 607 square feet, required specialized attention. Here, the implementation of DX split fan coils was instrumental in maintaining optimal conditions for storage.

The integration of various HVAC systems was a complex yet crucial aspect of this project. Notably, modifications to the existing HVAC infrastructure were made to accommodate the new setups. The introduction of a DX/natural gas rooftop unit specifically tailored to service the BSL2 lab was a significant addition, ensuring precise environmental control. Furthermore, the incorporation of a DX split fan coil system for the office space and a roof-mounted exhaust fan dedicated to the biosafety cabinets in the BSL2 lab showcased a meticulous approach to ventilation and environmental management throughout the entire facility.
