Ask Thought-Provoking Questions for Real Solutions

As a commercial construction firm for millions of square feet of laboratory facilities, from dry labs, clean rooms, and computational labs, to wet labs and biosafety labs (including BSL-2, BSL-3, BSL-3E, ABSL-2, ABSL-3, and BSL-4), we can bring a wealth of knowledge to your project. During the planning phase, we  ask questions like:

  • What type of laboratory equipment, casework and services are required now and in the future?
  • What routes will chemicals and animals travel into, through and out of the building?
  • What type of select biological and viral agents will the lab service?
  • Are you seeking any accreditation from regulatory agencies?

Our goal as a commercial general contractor is to deliver a fully functional building that meets your researchers' needs.

Ensure the Building Works as Intended

Because these buildings rely on robust mechanical and electrical systems, we integrate commissioning planning through our entire laboratory construction process, from preconstruction through construction. We have an in-house commissioning team to make sure the building and all its equipment, including special systems like chemical effluent decontamination, acid neutralization basins, tissue digesters, and breathing air systems, function at their best. Your researchers demand the best. As a laboratory construction contractor, Vaughn can help you deliver.

 

 


CARO2

“I have worked directly with Vaughn Construction on the successful completion of three large scale projects. These projects were highly specialized facilities with complex MEP systems, and Vaughn Construction was able to meet the challenges during construction with Owner requested changes, aggressive project schedules and the integration of complex research/medical equipment. Their team worked collaboratively with the design team and Owner's representatives, and coordination with their subcontractors appeared seamless.”
