Bayer Healthcare (now Siemens) moved its blood-gas analyzing R&D division into a new building to aggregate its disbursed operations into one new facility. Complete with labs, workspace, training, and a customer briefing center, this building was an important part of the company’s focus on the design of innovative testing equipment.
As with many labs, a key component was the creation of a centralized services corridor that housed common gasses, a tank farm, ROD distribution, and electrical distribution. This core area reduced redundancy of equipment, increased flexibility over time, and allowed efficient service and maintenance of critical infrastructure.
