Facility design

Previous

Developing high quality biological research facilities is a major and often expensive undertaking. The experience, knowledge and wisdom gained from the design, development and management of a wide variety of biological research laboratory developments, both ‘greenfield’ and existing building refurbishment projects, places PrimaTec at the forefront of modern research facility design.

The combination of biological research facilities design and management experience within many scientific disciplines, plus our extensive knowledge of the range of specialised equipment and resources available for the development of modern research facilities, provides the ideal starting point from which to develop any new project. Involving PrimaTec from the earliest design stages provides significant benefits in terms of overall quality of design, avoiding unnecessary costly design faults and team integration, which are vital to keeping the project within its pre-defined schedule and budget.

Following preliminary discussion of requirements and investigation of the various systems, which may be relevant to the planned facility, a series of options are presented for further ‘brain-storming’. Such options with the development of specification requirements and preliminary room data sheets are used to arrive at a more definitive design, which permits as much flexibility for final use as is practicable under the given circumstances. Evaluation of the projected financial requirements and schedule for development can then be progressed, together with more detailed architectural and mechanical engineering drawings for the proposed facility.

It is important to fully evaluate the expectations of any new facility and match these with available resources, particularly if the expectations are likely to be affected by physical constraints of available space, financial restraints or availability of trained staff at the proposed location. Assessment of the wider perspective in scientific research facility requirements and matching these with viable solutions, is a unique strength of PrimaTec.

The facility design and management expertise at PrimaTec has been responsible for the design and development of a variety of research facilities within Europe. A service that provides dedicated independent advice and design skills to facilitate your needs.
