    Turnaround

Oxford Nanopore Technologies had an urgent requirement for a 3,200m2 production facility incorporating high-grade ISO classified cleanrooms, product laboratories, packaging suite, offices and warehousing. To facilitate this fast track build, T-SQUARED was able to provide a turnkey design, construction and validation service, taking an empty shell to a validated cleanroom in just seven months.

The first phase released a fully operational Research & Development (R&D) laboratory, offices and welfare facilities just three months after the release of the building shell to T-SQUARED. This enabled Oxford Nanopore Technologies to begin manufacture and prepare for the release of the remaining production areas.

The second phase released a high-grade ISO 4 classified cleanroom, packaging and quality control, warehousing and all supporting plant areas to enable full-scale production after a fast-tracked seven-month fitout. The final phase was completed one month ahead of schedule and included a high-grade ISO classified cleanroom.

T-SQUARED’s exceptional attention to detail, right from initial scoping, delivered a world-class facility, allowing Oxford Nanopore the capability to scale its manufacture in line with rapid commercial growth.

“ The facility has surpassed our expectations and has met or bettered all performance requirements. “
