Design – construction of a pharmaceutical laboratory and a control room

Context and challenges

This client is a major pharmaceutical player specializing in pharmaceutical synthesis and specialty ingredients.

As part of the re-internalization of manufacturing control operations, this client wanted to set up an analysis and quality control laboratory as close as possible to the production workshops and meeting the regulatory requirements for its future FDA (Food and Drug Administration) qualification. The functions of the laboratory are as follows: Handling area / Sample reception / GPC area (gas phase chromatography) / HPLC room (high performance liquid chromatography) / Weighing room / Room for granulometric analyses / Room for sensory conformity tests (olfaction and tasting) / Editorial areas / Reagent, solvent and chemical product storage areas / Stability room / Laundry and glassware storage / Waste area.

This client also wished to install a control room to monitor the installations in production and to gather its teams through the creation of offices located on the laboratory floor.

In this context, this client entrusted Assystem, in a consortium with Maïa-Sonnier (representative) and Ataub Architecture, with the design studies in BIM* and the realization of its laboratory (turnkey) as well as the integration of customer equipment
