TECHNICAL DATA

The area designated for laboratory use needs to meet high standards, and sophisticated technical demands. Thus, Lifescience Park offer differs from the offer presented for the classical office area. There are several parameters which need to be met, such as: safety at a workplace, surface cleanness, fresh air exchange rate, and construction robustness.

Office/lab Space Area Ratio

Technology Park I building is designed for use of laboratory space by medium and large companies, and is initially subdivided into 30% of office, and 70% of laboratory space. The real and ultimate subdivision will be implemented based on individual needs of tenants. If required total rented area may be converted into lab space, whereas common area of the Park will serve office functions.

COMMON AREA

The common areas are provided for the Park locators for several purposes including: organizing works hops, conferences and videoconferences, business meetings in specially designer room and in a restaurant. Professional changing rooms for employees are provided along as well. Central washing area was set up in the common area to facilitate washing laboratory glassware. Delivery zones are equipped with elevators and special zones for storage of bio- and chemical wastes.

Adaptation Flexibility

Since the beginning, project of the Park aimed to meet high demands of the flexibility of rented laboratory area. Thus, this area can now be easily modified and adapted according to the individual need of the tenants. Companies renting the laboratory area in the Park conduct various types of research requiring different equipment for wide array of experiments. This determines the building technical infrastructure to be as much flexible as possible in order to maintain uninterrupted laboratory procedures. JCI will provide technical and project support in case of critical need to rearrange or expand laboratory area either upon request of existing, or new tenants of the Park.

Modularity of the Park’s Laboratory Area

The laboratory area in the Park, as mentioned before, can be custom arranged, which enables customers to rent laboratories in modular manner. Each individual module takes about 100 m2 of space. For example, 550 m2 of the uniformly formatted laboratory area, can be allocated into 4 modules of ca 110 m2 each, separated from each other by 4 dividing walls. Another way of modulating this area would be dividing it unevenly into 50 + 200 + 300 m2 modules. That allows to allocate modules according to the specific needs (exp. clean room).

SPACE ZONES

In order to avoid cross contamination within the building, there are “clean” and “dirty” zones within the Park. Such separation of the zones allows, on one hand, storage of wastes in a separate place, and on the other avoids contamination of supplies delivered to laboratories through a loading dock (clean zone). The existence of two zones qualifies the building as a GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) place.

Tier Height and Floor Weight Capacity

The spacial arrangement of the building allows to use several innovational solutions during the process of laboratory adaptation. First of all, ceilings were elevated to enable montage air condition, ventilation, heating, and fire prevention systems with ease and flexibility. To provide possibility of setting up heavy laboratory equipment (up to 2000 kg) such as CT (computer tomography), or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), floors were additionally reinforced. This allows to fit such equipment at as highs as 2nd floor. Building construction was designed in such way that allows to deliver oversized equipment either through the roof or through the external windows/side walls (after their previous disassembly).

HVAC Systems and Air Exchange

The proper ventilation is a key element during the laboratory work, which is one of the most important factors providing safe and effective work conditions. The Park contains the newest technology of air ventilation allowing to maintain constant temperature (induction convectors) and at the same time rapid air exchange with a ratio of 22 air exchanges/m2/h.

TECHNICAL DUTS

The Project of the building provides additional technical ducts to meet unexpected higher demands for sanitarian and power supplies. Each laboratory module has such margin of power supply and can be easily adjusted to the current power needs of the tenant, even if they differ from those that were predicted at the original lease contract.

Power Supply and Power Backup

LifeScience Park offers redundant power supplies, power backup and security system.

Fire Prevention System and HI-FOG System

Traditional fire put out systems may cause severe damage to the office or laboratory equipment up to 90% of its total volume. The Park, as one of the first institutions in Poland, is equipped with the newest fire prevention technology HI-FOG. In contrary to the classical put out methods, the HI-FOG system preserves 90% of the total equipment volume from damage caused by fire extinguishing systems. This system was provided by the Finnish company, Marioff Corporation.

Other Information

Of other important information and supplies it is worth to mention that:

  • Building is fully monitored by an external security company
  • The ease of moving is facilitated by elevators, hallways, and corridors connecting individual buildings
  • Roof is fully adaptable and expandable if necessary
  • There is an option for closed-circuit television (CCTV)
  • There is a possibility for adaptation to “clean room” standards
  • Water may be recycled (grey water system)
