Presentation
Summary:

In complex projects like the type you find in the Biotech sector, an integrated design approach is essential for success. Sub-optimal performance in any single area puts the success of the entire facility at risk. The success of anyone working on a biotech facility project relies on the individual achievements of every member on the design and construction team.

Doug will present on several aspects that are vital for success in Biotech Facilities including: Regulatory versus Building Code compliance; Operational versus Process flow; Energy efficiency versus Air Change requirements; Quality versus Schedule speed. Resolving the seemingly endless list of inherently contradictory demands of biotech facilities requires extreme focus on the interdependence of multiple, complex technical systems and architectural interfaces
