UW Department of Laboratory Medicine: COVID Testing Facility

As the Pacific Northwest’s flagship academic medical center, UW Medicine is playing a central role in Washington state’s clinical and public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and a national role in research to understand, treat and prevent COVID-19. Our team partnered with UW Medicine to built out 24,030 sq. ft. for 5 individual labs, office space, and a freezer storage area. The team also redesigned the existing mechanical and electrical systems to incorporate new air handler units and performed structural modifications to the roof. The project was phased and accelerated to guarantee that the labs were completed and fully functional ahead of the construction of the full building to allow for continuous COVID testing services with no interruptions.
