Science + Technology

Creating Leading-Edge Science Facilities

SGA specializes in the programming, planning, and design of research and development facilities for the biomedical, pharmaceutical, academic, and corporate sectors. Science is constantly changing and evolving, even faster than the design and build process. We work with our clients to anticipate their needs as the science develops, creating projects that can readily accommodate change in a client’s science and business model.

Programming

In this first critical step in the design process, SGA collaborates with stakeholders to establish space standards and adjacencies for supporting the anticipated science.

Lab Planning

SGA leads the design team in developing and configuring laboratories to respond to the criteria developed in Programming.

Equipment Planning

SGA specifies and coordinates the equipment required for the successful lab operation in Science and Technology facilities.

Strategic / Master Planning

Whether repositioning an existing facility or developing a new research campus, SGA can establish an innovative vision that responds to your project’s goals and objectives.

Protocol Development

SGA assists in the development of safe and cost-effective facility operations supported by the project’s design.

Process Architecture

SGA’s CGMP facilities design is informed by translating process and workflow into efficient layouts and support spaces that enable for effective manufacturing.

Bio-Containment Design

SGA supports the science and study of highly infectious agents by carefully blending protocols, equipment and facilities and to design and construct laboratories.

Code Analysis

Science and Technology facilities carry with them the need to store and use specialty chemicals and materials. SGA can translate the code requirements into building organization and construction strategies which result in a safe environment.
