KOW sector experience

Life Sciences

Laboratory and research environments with demanding infrastructure, commissioning, and delivery requirements.

The asset context

Understand what makes the project different.

Laboratory and research environments may require specialized ventilation, pressure relationships, controls, power, redundancy, process utilities, equipment coordination, and rigorous commissioning. Tenant requirements and long-lead systems can become central budget and schedule drivers.

KOW supports the defined lending, construction, and property decision while recognizing where specialty design, validation, or operational expertise is required from others. Our reporting keeps base-building, tenant, equipment, and closeout interfaces visible.

What we look for

Read the assignment in the context of the asset.

Design, construction, operations, finance, and end users meet differently in every property type. For life sciences assignments, our teams calibrate fieldwork and reporting to the property, the transaction, and the work the client has asked us to perform.

  • Specialty mechanical systems
  • Power and redundancy
