Additional Health Care and Lab Projects
UW Health Sciences Medical Center,
Laboratory Design
Each project was initiated with a pre-design phase to establish the scope, and then followed by a design phase. Typical installations included supply and exhaust air changes, the addition of fume hoods, plumbing for sinks and laboratory gases.

Immunex Quality Control Laboratory Upgrade
The scope of the project included revising the office suite on two floors into additional laboratory space. A 20,000 cfm air handler was added to provide 100% tempered outside air to two existing air handling systems. This design eliminated the need to replace the coils and filter sections in the existing units, which limited the downtime in the existing labs during construction to one over night shift. Exhaust fans were added to exhaust the new hood and lab areas. FSi’s portion of the project also included plumbing and fire protection design for the new laboratories.
UW Bagley Hall, Lab 191 Renovation
The majority of the existing systems are from original construction of the building. Creative thinking was necessary to meet the needs for a state of the art laboratory. The laboratory itself will serve two purposes- first as a research area, then later as a classroom for upper level students. Flexibility was designed into the systems to accommodate the change in use. The design included 10 fume hoods and appropriate ventilation with environmental controls. The existing steam radiator heating was maintained, and upgraded with new control valves and temperature sensors. The plumbing services to the benches included cold and hot water, natural gas, compressed air, and de-ionized water.
