Finishes, paints and adhesives have been selected to meet the formaldehyde, Benzene and VOC thresholds from the WELL Standard..
It's a much more slimmed down version of what it used to be, using fan coil units for the basic cooling.We have brought it into line with current building regulations, and industry best practice, through good modern design.. We are now in the installation stage and our role is working with the contractor to ensure the mechanical and electrical systems installed meet the client brief and design vision.
The works should be complete early 2022.. Pharmaceutical Facility Design for GSK.We've done a lot of work for GSK over four sites now, principally in Stevenage, where we built a new cryogenics building.This was a really interesting project because there are two things in it that are probably unique, certainly in the UK, if not in the world..
This building contains hundreds of thousands of samples, stored in vats of liquid nitrogen at -278o centigrade.Currently, accessing the samples is a manual process which exposes the users to risk of asphyxiation due to their close proximity to the liquid Nitrogen.
As the Nitrogen evaporates, a blanket of cold Nitrogen forms on the floor and rises upwards, thereby excluding the oxygen necessary for human life.. For the new facility, they wanted to make sure no-one had to go near the storage vessels.
So they commissioned a US company called Brooks to design a robot that could collect samples and deliver them to the scientist, in a way that’s a bit like a vending machine.The Construction Playbook: Government guidance on sourcing and contracting public works projects and programmes.
