This project included the design study for a renovation of newly assigned space in Building 29B for five (5) NIAID personnel. The renovated space will house staff scientists and support staff and will accommodate general purpose laboratories, bio-safety level laboratories, shared analytical laboratories, and administrative support spaces. The renovation includes space on floors 1-5 and the basement of Building 29B. Total square footage is approximately 60,000 SF. Since the completion of the design study, NIH has also awarded the CFR team the design and post-design services for this project.CFR is the prime consultant on this project providing project management and MEP engineering design services. This project was also designed along with other sub-consultants including; architecture, structural engineering, and cost estimating services. Specialized third party services for testing and balancing services as well as autoclave testing services of all autoclaves on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th floors of the Building were provided.Additional specialized third party services for cGMP technical support for the relocation of the NIAID clean room facility to the basement of Building 29B was provided. The facility will be used for the production of master and production cell banks, pilot-scale fermentation and purification of bulk drug substrates. The CFR team has evaluated the current process, block layout and developed a User Requirement Statement (URS) document to establish scope and quality expectations for the project as well as support the feasibility, design and implementation logistics of the new Building 29B renovation. Work consists of the evaluation of existing process and a gap analysis against the proposed new space.
