Large-Scale Manufacturing Facility Upgrade
A lean, integrated project delivery approach resulted in a 250,000sf world-class bulk biological production facility with an upgraded infrastructure and improvements in media, process and cell lines. The facility has received industry recognition for its exceptional design, innovative modular construction methods and strong safety record. Consisting of 22 subprojects with over 125 individual systems, the project was executed in 18 months with only a 4-month shutdown. The finished facility provided a 300% increase in yield over its previous production.
