Mark Stringer, LEED AP, HFDP, is a highly experienced MEP engineering Principal with over 40 years of expertise in the field, with the last 30 years focused on Healthcare.
DBR worked with Freeman White/T. Howard Associates to provide mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design services for the $47 million expansion and renovation of the Riggs Emergency Department on the main campus of Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas.
DBR is pleased to be working with Energy Architecture on BYK’s newest production and research facility in Gonzales, Texas. The new 25,000 square foot laboratory facility will increase the company’s production capabilities and provide new R&D space for key products in the rheology additive portfolio, specifically the GARAMITE product line.
Innospec (Innospec Oilfield Services Division) had committed to a lease of the space, and more importantly, to a vacate date at their existing facility. This put pressure on the design team to work as quickly as possible to complete the design effort to allow long-lead mechanical and lab equipment to be ordered in order to support the schedule, as well as give Innospec the state-of-the-art research facility they desired.
When considering laboratory purified water, the issue is not having water available, but having the right quality of water available for scientific work.
When your client asks you how he or she should classify the new labortary space they are designing, how do you answer? Beyond the broad brush of wet chemistry, dry physics and electronics, or biology, is there more criteria available to identify the lab type?
