View transcript

At Hixson, we’ve been designing CGMP spaces for over 75 years. That experience and knowledge translates into our designs for pharmaceutical and biotech clients. They’re highly technical spaces, and so our multidisciplinary engineers and designers understand how the regulatory compliance has an influence on these spaces.

Once the requirements for a space are understood, now we can begin the process of developing all of the programmatic needs. Those may include temperature, humidity, air pressurization, and ultimately, how does all of that fit into an operational environment that’s both efficient and safe.

At Hixson, we have multidisciplinary teams that can help provide the leadership to support our client’s needs, all the way from defining the URS, through design, engineering, construction, and commissioning. When everyone on a project comes together, the project goes a lot smoother.

So we understand what that means, from start to end, to help integrate our internal resources, the vendors, the OEMs, the contractors. We’re utilizing the latest design industry tools and technologies for 3D collaboration.

And the 3D visualization ensures that our clients understand what their final product is going to be before it’s built. Hixson’s success with all of our projects is grounded in both our technical capabilities, but more importantly, with the trusted relationships that we’ve developed. We’ve developed the reputation as a firm that can help our clients solve their problems.

Designing Break Rooms in Hygienic Zones

Laboratory environments are hygienic zones…spaces that must be kept clean, dry, and free from contaminates, including allergens. These spaces should also be free of food and beverages and other sources of contamination. However, in these hygienic environments, designers must also consider some basic human needs that need to be addressed: How can you make it […]
