Building modern laboratories to help research and development thrive

Laboratory design is critical for efficient research and development, and to ensure they are safe places to work.

Bulb Laboratories, which has offices in Oxford and Reading, have worked with many of the region’s life sciences companies.

A recent Bulb project was to create a compliant laboratory space for biological research and analytical work for Emergex Vaccines, based at Milton Park, which needed extra space for its vaccine research and development work.

Emergex secured a building next to its current space at Milton Park and commissioned Bulb to create biology labs with tissue culture rooms, liquid nitrogen storage, and analytics.

The facility also needed installation of laboratory furniture, external gas storage and supply and provision of a three-phase power supply.

The project included ancillary support with GMP areas and relocation, as well as new flooring and associated works in the upper floor office areas.
