CP Bauteam GmbH carried out the renovation of an existing laboratory building in a total of three construction phases, with the main work focused on sections A and D. The goal was to functionally and technically restructure the spaces to create modern laboratory, office, and ancillary areas while taking the existing building structure into account.
An animal housing facility was constructed on the ground floor of Section A; to enable the vertical transport of the animal housing racks between floors, the building was expanded with an annex containing a freight elevator, in which an emergency power generator was also installed to ensure the operational reliability of the ventilation system and critical laboratory equipment.
On the first and second floors of Building A, new laboratory spaces, office areas, and a lounge with an integrated kitchenette were created; a gas-tight airlock ensures the controlled introduction of materials and equipment into the sensitive animal housing areas.
In Building D, additional laboratory space was created on the ground floor and upper floors, including an isotope laboratory for work with radioactive phosphorus-32 (P-32) and a biosafety level S1 laboratory, supplemented by office and break areas to support the laboratory workstations. The existing HVAC systems were retrofitted and expanded, and a new cooling system with recoolers was installed in the roof area to ensure the necessary thermal operating conditions.
