While there can be projects that benefit from a single approach entirely, the optimum solution for most new facility projects is "hybrid", or combination, of different options integrated into a project delivery approach that exceeds client expectations and provides the highest value through the facility lifecycle. This approach is being adopted and successfully implemented by both manufacturers and CDMOs in the biopharma industry. The benefits of "hybrid" design will be discussed, and a real project case study will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach. Key Learning Objectives: Learn about the industry drivers for modular and prefabricated construction methodologies Review the pros/cons of each construction approach and understand why a hybrid solution is often optimal See real case study examples where the hybrid approach was successfully implemented Who Should Attend:  Engineering and facilities leaders Capital project managers Manufacturing and operations leaders Procurement leaders Executive management (CEOs, COOs, CFOs) Featured Speaker:  Dennis Powers is the Senior Vice President of Product & Strategy for G-CON Manufacturing and has 30 years of experience working in the biopharmaceutical industry on both the client and supplier sides of the business.

GCS, a leader in cleanroom panels, explores the challenges, design considerations, and essential features of world-class walk-on ceilings for cleanrooms. Importance of Walk-On Ceilings in Controlled Environments Walk-on ceilings are integral to many cleanroom designs, offering a safe and reliable platform for maintenance access and housing critical mechanical and electrical systems. This article reviews the key features, benefits, and options that should be considered when selecting and designing these ceilings for cleanroom applications. Walk-on ceilings must be independently tested and certified, with standards differing by region. The structural design must account for factors such as the supporting framework, load capacities, required spans, and various architectural constraints from the host building. Additionally, performance criteria such as air tightness, moisture resistance, and the ability to withstand harsh cleaning protocols are crucial to ensure the ceiling's longevity and functionality in demanding environments. GCS’s portfolio offers a range of solutions to enhance performance, including hanging systems designed to integrate seamlessly with walk-on ceilings while supporting lighting, ductwork, and other equipment. Meeting Regional Compliance Standards Ceiling load capacities must comply with regional codes. In Europe, EN 13964 is the primary standard, while in the United States, ICC-ES is the most accepted in terms of architectural system performance. Each region applies different safety factors, so it’s essential to ensure that comparisons between manufacturers’ load tables are based on equivalent testing standards.

Unlike other cleanrooms that may cater to manufacturing or pharmaceutical needs, forensic cleanrooms are tailored to meet the stringent requirements of criminal investigations. The primary purpose of these controlled spaces is to maintain the integrity of forensic evidence, which is critical for legal proceedings. Defining Forensic Science Cleanrooms Forensic science cleanrooms are defined by their adherence to strict environmental standards, such as ISO Class 5/Fed Std 209E Class 100, which are essential for contamination control. These standards dictate the level of cleanliness by controlling the number of particulates in the air, ensuring that the evidence remains untainted. Unique Aspects of Forensic Cleanrooms Our forensic cleanrooms at G-Con differ from other types due to their specific focus on controlling static, pressure, humidity, and contamination. This level of environmental control is crucial when handling sensitive materials like DNA samples, where even the smallest contaminant can compromise the results. Role in Forensic Analysis The role of these cleanrooms in forensic analysis cannot be overstated. They provide a contaminant-free environment where technicians can conduct analyses such as DNA sequencing, toxicology, and fingerprinting without the risk of corrupting the evidence. Importance of Contamination Control Contamination control is the cornerstone of forensic science cleanrooms. Utilizing HEPA and ULPA filters, we ensure that the air within our cleanrooms maintains positive pressure, effectively removing particulates and safeguarding the integrity of the evidence. This meticulous control is what allows... --- ### Accelerating your Filling Facility Project Schedule to Bring New Therapies to Patients Faster - Published: 2020-05-05 - Modified: 2024-06-06 - URL: https://www.gconbio.com/accelerating-your-filling-facility-project-schedule-to-bring-new-therapies-to-patients-faster/ - Categories: Podcasts In this episode of PODTalk, we conversate with our friends at Vanrx Pharmasystems to discuss filling technology and facility construction approaches that can help you reclaim your timeline and bring your therapies to patients faster. --- ### G-CON Facility Tour - Meet our Experts - Published: 2020-04-30 - Modified: 2024-06-06 - URL: https://www.gconbio.com/g-con-facility-tour-meet-our-experts/ - Categories: Videos American Pharmaceutical Review tours G-CON Manufacturing in College Station, TX and speaks with many of our executives to learn about the company, our services and expertise, and how our pre-fabricated cleanroom suites help pharmaceutical companies bring lifesaving treatments to market. --- ### 103: Disrupting the Industry: G-CON’s Impact on Cell and Gene Therapy Manufacturing - Published: 2020-04-24 - Modified: 2024-06-06 - URL: https://www.gconbio.com/103-disrupting-the-industry-g-cons-impact-on-cell-and-gene-therapy-manufacturing/ - Categories: Podcasts In this episode, Dennis Powers, Vice President of Sales Engineering and Business Development for G-CON Manufacturing, discusses the POD effect on therapeutics with off-site manufacturing of modular/podular cleanrooms and G-CON's overall impact on the cell and gene therapy sector for manufacturing advanced therapies in prefabricated cleanrooms. --- ### Designing Facilities for Aseptic Filling - Published: 2020-03-03 - Modified: 2024-06-06 - URL: https://www.gconbio.com/designing-facilities-for-aseptic-filling/ - Categories: Podcasts In this episode, experienced engineer and subject matter expert in aseptic facility design, Sandra Bachamp, discusses production planning, site selection and key things to consider when constructing cleanrooms for aseptic filling.
