Lifelink Tissue Bank and Processing Center
CM Project
Tampa, Florida  Client: Lifelink Foundation RS&H Role/Responsibility: Lab Planner and Architect |
 Project Description: As the lead Architect and Laboratory Programmer, RS&H was an integral part of the Owner/CM team for this facility, which houses complete laboratories, clean rooms, and cryogenic storage for harvesting, processing, and banking of human tissue for surgical implantation. As the first phase of the 130,000-square-foot campus, this facility focused on processing and banking of human tissue (allografts) for surgical transplantation. The facility is designed to allow efficient process flows and adheres to FDA and AATB standards, and the process areas are supported by a mechanical interstitial space above for ease of maintenance. Without compromising the clean rooms below, this interstitial space further strengthens the concept for expandability and adaptability in the future. |
