Building tomorrow’s life sciences facilities.Â
Science and technology facilities are complex, distinctive, and driven by strict protocols. With intensive MEP systems and tight schedules, these projects come with high stakes. We leverage advanced technology and a detailed preconstruction process to manage planning and construction sequencing effectively. Backed by our in-house MEP team and a strong track record, McCownGordon is a trusted partner in delivering successful science and technology builds.

Biosafety Level Laboratories (BSL)
Whether clinical, diagnostic, research or production, BSL spaces require a strict adherence to protocol due to the noxious nature of the agents being developed. If not constructed correctly serious disease or environmental contamination could be a factor. Unidirectional air flow, using room pressure gradients of negative exhaust, and HEPA filtration are just a few of the requirements are teams take into consideration when completing these highly technical spaces.
Clean Rooms
When working in a clean room environment our teams consider a multitude of factors including HEPA filtration, electrostatic discharge, ventilation and makeup air, pressurization, temperature and humidity control. Precise coordination through the design and preconstruction phase ensures each of these elements is in balance and the governing standards and specifications of the concentration of airborne particles is met.
Research & Academic Institutions
Students learn through first-hand experiences. Observation and manipulation foster a deep understanding and appreciation for science and technology. From engineering to chemical to forensics each lab needs to be flexible and adaptable to future technology all while ensuring proper ventilation and vibration isolation to maintain the integrity of the science as well as an optimal learning environment.
Manufacturing
McCownGordon specializes in pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing design, engineering and construction including greenfield facilities, expansion projects and all the facilities that support the manufacturing space. Whether it’s a new facility, an expansion, or essential support infrastructure, we provide strategic solutions that align with your operational goals.
