The scope of the construction was to fit-out 3 floors, totaling 37,000
square feet of an existing 12-story building. In addition, the
infrastructure of the HVAC system was upgraded for the entire building.
All phases of work had to be coordinated to minimize any impact to the
other functioning laboratories and their sensitive experiments.
The placements of the new cooling towers and exhaust fans on the
roof required coordination with the City of New York to shut down the
FDR Highway for the installation.
Each floor was a self-contained laboratory and included clean rooms,
tissue culture rooms, laboratory areas, sterilizers, custom wood
casework with epoxy tops, environmental rooms, equipment room,
conference and office rooms.
A unique aspect of the project was the exposed ceiling in the laboratory
areas that put increased pressure on the coordination of work to conceal
much of the mechanical work. All ducts, piping, conduits, data,
telephone, medical gas piping installed in the laboratory areas were
meticulously laid out to provide an appealing visual display. |
