Making this conversion work on a tight schedule and budget required a collaborative approach with the lab operations, facilities and project management team involved from the earliest stages of the design process.” — Isabel Mandujano, LPA Director of Laboratory Planning
The 51,000-square-foot, 3-story facility consolidates operations for Fulgent’s Dallas-Fort Worth area operations. The design converted a traditional office building into a comprehensive facility for the company, including an anatomic pathology lab, a next generation sequencing lab, clinical pathology doctor offices, support space for shipping and receiving and hazardous materials, and office, meeting and conference space.
LPA provided architecture, interiors, laboratory planning and structural design services for the project. Birch Construction and Cushman & Wakefield were also involved at every step of the process.
“Making this conversion work on a tight schedule and budget required a collaborative approach with the lab operations, facilities and project management team involved from the earliest stages of the design process," said LPA Director of Laboratory Planning Isabel Mandujano. “It’s a pleasure to see this facility come to fruition and serve the needs of Fulgent’s hardworking clinical laboratory professionals, helping them fulfill their mission to drive healthcare innovation forward in the DFW life science ecosystem.”
