Cell Therapy Laboratories

The Cellular Therapeutics unit is a highly specialist facility that was in urgent need of increased capacity. This was a single project in three phases to provide that capacity.

Phase One provided new stage one gowning area, product storage and cell processing laboratories without disruption to the existing services.

Phase Two provided a new steel frame building on the ground floor of an enclosed four storey light well. Due to the location of this new facility, we were not able to utilise a crane. Therefore demolition was undertaken manually and materials and plant were manually handled into place throughout.

The building was designed to house new Cat B research laboratories, built to the client’s unique specification.

The project required the installation of sophisticated air handling units linked to a complex mechanical and electrical design. Units were mounted underneath the concrete ceiling, connected to the roof top plant room, before this area was sealed and the five individual laboratories were formed.

Phase Three saw the final consolidation of the unit, to enable the production of genetically modified cells. The specialist facility now offers reduced operating costs whilst facilitating retention of UK operating licences.

Featuring a very high specification, the new laboratories now showcase leading world class facilities where exemplary design, high specification and faultless installation culminate in an impeccable finish.
