Ensoma Laboratory and Vivarium

After completing an 8,000-square-foot lab and office, the rapidly expanding biotechnology company, Ensoma, needed a new 22,000-square-foot lab and office with a 13-room vivarium. This space demanded challenging coordination due to the increased HVAC requirements and complex systems such as a dedicated pH adjustment system, RODI system, nitrogen supply, CO2 supply, vacuum supply, compressed air supply, and a standalone cold room.

Sterling’s involvement from conception through design allowed for the project to maintain the schedule even with heightened lead times during the pandemic. This work was completed below, above, and adjacent to existing occupied spaces, presenting unique challenges. The project team masterfully completed this elegant office and hightech lab on schedule and under budget.
