Research Laboratory Expansion
/Teleflex Medical
Reading, Pennsylvania
Teleflex Medical is a global provider of medical devices used in critical care surgery.
As part of an ongoing consolidation of space and expansion of research capacity SSM provided architectural engineering and construction management assistance to create a new research and laboratory section at the facility.
SSM began the project with a programming phase in which the space and utility needs of the various groups were developed. SSM then developed lab area layouts followed by schematic and conceptual designs that were used as a basis for corporate costing and approval. SSM engineers prepared architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection construction documents for Protein, Cell, Formulation and Analytical Labs totaling 3600 square feet in an area previously used as conference and training space. SSM provided full on-site Construction Management services for the construction period of the project.
SSM was responsible for scheduling the various trades, product deliveries, system shutdowns and tie-ins, and the testing and validation of the systems and spaces.
