Dowler-Gruman (DGA) Architects provided the design for the new ISO 7 standards Clean Room Manufacturing and cGMP Construction for renovation of the entire existing 133,000 sq. foot facility.  The Design provided an additional 22,000 sq. feet tenant improvement of office spaces and conference rooms.

Key sub-contractors for the project included Comfort Systems and Berg Electric.

 “It was critical that the site be completed prior to the 2006 planned Christmas shutdown in order to move the production equipment and have production operations running by January, 2007,” stated Mr. Gene Jones, Project Manager representing Abbott Vascular. “Xnergy…was the difference between meeting and not meeting the timeline.”
