Converting an empty shell into a fully equipped facility required meticulous planning, seamless coordination, and flawless execution. Within the 1,645 square feet dedicated to the BSL2 Lab, precision was critical. New sanitary waste systems, hot and cold water lines, and tempered water connections were carefully installed to support lab sinks, eyewash stations, and safety showers—ensuring both functionality and full compliance with safety standards.
The 607-square-foot freezer farm required equally specialized attention. Maintaining strict environmental conditions for sensitive storage was paramount, and the installation of DX split fan coils provided the reliability and stability needed for continuous operation.
Perhaps the most complex element of the project was the integration of multiple HVAC systems. Modifications to the existing infrastructure were carried out to accommodate the facility’s advanced needs. A DX/natural gas rooftop unit, designed specifically for the BSL2 lab, was introduced to deliver precise environmental regulation and control. Additional systems—including a DX split fan coil for the office space and a roof-mounted exhaust fan dedicated to the biosafety cabinets—ensured optimal ventilation, safety, and environmental management across all zones.
The success of this build was achieved through close collaboration between design teams, contractors, and facility stakeholders. Every system was thoughtfully coordinated to create a safe, efficient, and highly functional laboratory environment, transforming an empty shell into a state-of-the-art research facility.
