Life Sciences

We provide tailored fit out solutions for life science research facilities, enabling breakthroughs in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and medical sciences. Our fit out services are designed to meet the stringent requirements of advanced laboratories, ensuring compliance with GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) standards.

Our team collaborates closely with clients to deliver state of the art facilities, such as BSL-3 containment laboratories and ISO 14644-1 certified cleanrooms. We fit out these spaces to be equipped with setups to meet the exacting needs of life science research, including:

Regulatory compliance

• MHRA and HSE standards: Adherence to Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations
• ISO standards: Building cleanrooms and laboratories designed to meet ISO 14644 for air cleanliness and containment

Fit out of specialist laboratory spaces

• Wet labs: Equipped with chemical resistant worktops, sinks and fume cupboards for handling liquids and chemicals
• Dry labs: For computational and data focused research, with robust IT infrastructure
• Biosafety labs: Constructed to meet containment levels (BSL1-BSL4)
• Cleanrooms: ISO classified environments for aseptic processes, with controlled air quality, temperature and pressure

Environmental control systems

• HVAC systems: Installing precision controlled systems to regulate temperature, humidity and air pressure, critical for experiments and sensitive equipment
• Air filtration: Installation of HEPA filters and systems to prevent cross contamination
• Pressure zones: Delivering positive pressure for clean areas, negative pressure for containment zones

Utilities and infrastructure

• Plumbing: Installing deionised and distilled water systems, along with chemical resistant drainage
• Gas systems: Delivering of medical and laboratory grade gas pipelines for oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other specialised gases
• Power supply: Providing redundant systems, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and backup generators for critical equipment

Specialist equipment accommodation

• Storage: Refrigerated, frozen and ambient storage fit out for samples, reagents and equipment
• Instrumentation: Delivering centrifuges, autoclaves, incubators and analytical instruments
• Shielding: Building radiation shielding for areas with X rays or other imaging technologies

IT and data integration

• High speed connectivity: Installing robust networks to support computational research and data sharing
• Laboratory information management systems (LIMS): Integration of LIMS for efficient sample tracking and data management
• Server rooms: Creating climate controlled and secure server spaces for large scale data storage

Safety and compliance features

• Emergency equipment: Fit out of showers and eyewash stations
• Fire safety: Installing materials and systems that meet fire safety standards, as well as alarms, suppression systems and evacuation plans
• Access control: Installing biometric or card based systems to restrict access to sensitive areas

Fit out of staff facilities

• Changing rooms: Supporting hygiene protocols with lockers and gowning areas
• Break areas: Fit out of comfortable and modern spaces for staff to relax and collaborate
• Meeting rooms: Installation of audio visual systems for presentations and discussions

Sustainability credentials

• Energy efficient systems: Using LED lighting, energy efficient HVAC and renewable energy sources where feasible
• Sustainable materials: Use of low carbon, recycled or recyclable materials for construction and furniture
• Water conservation: Installing low flow systems and monitoring to minimise waste
• Accreditations targeted: BREEAM, LEED, SKA, NABERS, WELL

Validation and handover

• Testing: Comprehensive commissioning of all systems, from HVAC to IT infrastructure
• Documentation: Clear records for compliance, validation and O&M manuals
