Laboratories and Pharmaceutical facilities

We have a strong track record in the design of laboratories and buildings for medical and pharmaceutical R&D for government, academic and commercial clients.

Over the past 20 years, Faber Maunsell has accumulated a wealth of experience in the design and construction of laboratories and associated facilities needed for research, testing and manufacture across a wide range of national institutes and commercial industries.

Strong core teams of experienced building engineers have been established in St Albans and Altrincham, forging long-term relationships with key clients. More recently, regional teams have been developing in our main European offices.

These teams offer clients and construction professionals their knowledge of the best practices in construction and infrastructure engineering for these complex buildings. They aim to economically meet the current and projected needs of users in these rapidly changing fields, whilst respecting the environment.

This results in a flexible approach that allows simple modifications to structures and services as well as the addition of extra capacity to accommodate future technologies.

Our experience includes the design of new and refurbished buildings for universities, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, government departments, property developers and charitable institutions.

Amongst the universities, facilities have included laboratories and associated accommodation for both teaching and research. We have designed facilities for anatomy, physiology, epidemiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, histology, pathology, electrophysiology, organic and inorganic chemistry and radiochemistry.

Work for institutions has included provision of the leading UK facilities for research into the Human Genome, undertaken by The Wellcome Trust.

Our work for pharmaceutical companies includes many facilities for drug discovery and associated testing and safety evaluation functions.
