4 keys to accelerating blockbuster drug production
Accelerate facility construction or expansion with a real estate services partner
If accelerated speed to market is the goal, working with a life sciences real estate service provider can shave weeks off a construction schedule—while keeping the project within budget. For instance, when a mid-tier biotechnology company faced an urgent opportunity to help address a public health crisis, it partnered with a life sciences project manager to bring a new 210,000-square-foot laboratory and GXP production facility online in an accelerated timeline.
The company enlisted a project manager early on to serve as owner’s representative and provide guidance on selection and installation of such critical systems as vibration sensors, infrared scans for electrical equipment, water injection, HEPA filtration and more, as well as overall construction management.
The project management team included FM experts to help establish standard operating procedures and set up a computerized maintenance management system and other foundational elements of FM operations. The FM team helped ensure the proper installation, calibration and certification of critical systems, and established streamlined, cost-efficient and value-added FM practices across the enterprise.
