Design

Program of Requirements

Setting Expectations the Right Way

The Program of Requirements (POR) establishes the foundation for your facility’s design, along with your research objectives, planned laboratory work, grant specifications, and regulatory requirements. Taking all of these into account, we’ll create detailed Program or Requirements that serves as the foundation for your lab or critical environment design. We discuss the short and long term expectations of your facility and develop a guide for the design team to use to ensure a safe and compliant design. Think of it as a wish list or checklist that thoroughly considers compliance standards, equipment, layout, commissioning testing and verification requirements etc.

Right-Fit Design

Gathering input from all key stakeholders is crucial. By comprehending the present and future requirements, our design solutions are tailored to ensure functionality and alignment with the users’ needs.

Workflow That Works for You

Design a facility that works safely and effectively. It’s vital to create a flow in each laboratory consistent with use, accessibility, sequence of process, and location of the most potentially contaminated operations.

Guidance and Regulatory Compliance

Gain clarity on guidance and rule-making and how it will support your design. Document which guidance and regulations are applicable to your pathogen work, grant requirements, and organizational goals.

Efficient Waste Stream Disposal

Right size and technology are key to a sustainable waste processing system—whether it’s an autoclave, decontamination chamber, or an effluent decontamination system. Select the most efficient system based on your projected waste with cost and compliance in mind.

Conceptualize The Needs of the Lab Users

Maintaining an inventory is essential. You can utilize our room data sheets to learn the requirements of laboratory users. They’ll help you identify the equipment and material needs for each room and learn ideal research methods. Additionally, you’ll learn the best documentation of biosafety equipment, materials, and proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) donning and doffing procedures.

Primary and backup materials should always be accessible to workers. Our equipment storage design will make sure this is always the case.

HVAC Complexities Solved

Establish HVAC acceptance criteria and annual certification testing program requirements from the beginning. Ensure that the design establishes directional airflow from the least to most potentially contaminated areas.

Time Saver

Time is money. Avoid costly retrofits and renovations before the laboratory is ever used. We’ll help you identify potential interruptions early in the design phase so you won’t experience setbacks.
