The Telethon Kids Institute project occupying several floors of the Perth Children’s Hospital, it comprises some 7000m2 of workplace, 2000m2 of wet labs and 1000m2 of bio resources space, including: State-of-the-art laboratories and workspace, Four trial suites and Cryogenics facility.

Both the wet lab areas and bio resources facility have been designed and constructed to a PC2 standard. The wet lab areas contain large open plan lab spaces, microscopy rooms, freezer farms and specialty suites to conduct specific experiments.

Specific Project Obstacles to overcome

• The Wet Labs and Bio-resources Centre where constructed to achieve Physical Containment PC2.
• Selected rooms within the Bio-resources center where constructed to permit gaseous decontamination/fumigation.

By working collaboratively with the the Client and lead contractor Multiplex we achieved certification on all PC2 and gaseous decontamination area on the first attempt.
