QIAGEN SCIENCES

Architecture, Inc. provided conceptual design services for a new, 150,000 sf, three-story lab and office building. QIAGEN is a global leader in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and research industries. The building was designed to provide 48,000 sf per floor with three floors of lab modules. The second and third floors are support spaces and offices.

The program includes DNA Oligoneucleotide Manufacturing Suites, siRNA Manufacturing Laboratories, and 4G Manufacturing Expansion. The facility would provide conference space to support staff on a global level, office space, and expansive laboratories to continue research into the development of lifesaving technologies.

SOUTHERN RESEARCH INSTITUTE

Our firm has been working with the Southern Research Institute since 1989. Services provided include the design and documents for the original laboratory space of this contract research organization, which began as a toxicology vivarium facility but morphed into a CDC certified BSL-3 virology research laboratory with 24,000 sf of research space, plus 20,000 sf for principal investigators and tech support.

Multiple projects have been completed for the organization over the years including upgrades to the existing vivarium; a central plant addition; SIV research fit-outs; BSL-3 automated virology research lab; BSL2 vivarium spaces for specific DOD contracts; and CDC upgrade. Our firm also provided design services for upgrades to the facility as part of a grant application. The design (pictured) featured a new addition with glass canopy, interior alterations, and mechanical equipment upgrades.
