Medical College of Wisconsin / Children's Research Institute
Translational and Biomedical Research Center, Milwaukee, WI
Construction Management

The state-of-the-art facility provides shared research space as well as two wings of laboratories, one for the health system’s new Children’s Research Institute and the other for the Medical College’s Translational and Biomedical Research Center. Approximately 80 researchers and physicians are housed in the new facility. The 310,000 SF facility includes wet bench space, office space and research support, a secure loading dock, conference rooms, cafeteria and telecommunications equipment space.

The design and construction team overcame many challenges on this project, including a two-year construction schedule; a very tight project site that extended out to the existing lease lines; demolition of an old parking deck and relocation of existing utilities; complicated mechanical systems with many required layers of duct work and piping to control air quality, temperature, and humidity; a need to monitor noise and vibration in order to avoid disruption to laboratories in adjacent buildings; and customized procedure rooms.

The design of the laboratory space achieved the client’s objectives by utilizing non-fixed casework, which allows lab table heights to be adjusted or removed; providing storage cabinets on casters for flexibility and customization; providing tech stations along the exterior windows and adjacent to the lab bench areas; and utilizing casework systems which are pre-piped and pre-wired to ceiling service panels.
