Laboratory Design and Planning
-
The Sample Receiving and Processing Laboratory was totally revamped to incorporate lean design strategies for sample delivery, unpacking, accessioning and distribution.
-
iDesign planned and developed the labs to meet U.S. FDA standards. They are used for proprietary product research and development as well as manufacturing quality control and international product safety testing.
-
Built in 1974, the R&D labs had not been renovated in 35 years. Modifications were implemented piecemeal on an as-needed basis over decades, which created a mess both in terms of systems organization and workflow. iDesign was able to implement a flexible design strategy, beginning with a common lab template. This systems approach to design will ease future modifications so that the systems remain clear and organized while facilitating modifiable and efficient workflows.
