About the Project

Caris is a medical testing and research development company that conducts medical testing for diseases such as cancer and DNA and prescription drug research. We provided the complete mechanical, plumbing, and electrical design for this 63,000 sq. ft. research lab. The project includes multiple lab areas, office support space and a complete central plant with chillers, cooling towers, boilers, pumps and emergency generators. A security system was also included.

This project was moderately complex due to chiller plant and laminar air flow requirements, close tolerances on temperature control, efficient/sustainable heat recovery, high efficiency indirect lighting, special lighting controls, security systems and a generator/emergency UPS back-up power system.
