The new clean room facility at MetroHealth was relocated from an off-campus facility to the main campus, easing the workflow of hospital researchers and staff.

The design team worked closely with MetroHealth early in the process to assist with location selection for the new GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) facility. After analyzing and planning for several sites, the team chose the Rammelkamp building’s sixth floor because of its accessibility to both researchers and patients.

The project includes three ISO 7 clean rooms and ISO 8 support spaces, such as the anteroom, gown-in, gown-out, a clean corridor for the placement of equipment, a quarantine room and a supplies/reagent room.
