This project involves the modernization of a 20,500 square-foot facility, with an additional 9,500 square feet of space being added to enhance laboratory and office areas. The renovation will address key infrastructure upgrades, including replacing roof systems, and improving mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, HVAC, and IT systems to ensure long-term operational efficiency.
