Strategic sequencing for this 45,000-sq-ft renovation was critical because construction zones were often surrounded by occupied spaces with live MEP systems. To modernize the facility’s interior by converting outdated laboratory areas into functional office and meeting spaces, the project teams worked meticulously to identify systems that could be safely removed and those that had to remain active to ensure seamless operations. This included overhauling the building-wide domestic water system that served critical spaces such as the autopsy room and all restrooms.

Rigorous cleanliness protocols were maintained throughout the project to ensure zero contamination and disruption. Security and chain-of-custody protocols were also upheld, with enhanced access controls to protect sensitive spaces and maintain evidence integrity.
