Treanor Life Sciences

Facility Expansion

Treanor Architects was commissioned for a Feasibility Study at BIVI's St. Joseph, MO facilities, and to design the planned expansion projects. The scope of the Feasibility Study encompassed four separate but related projects: Building B-South Dock Cooler Expansion and Electrical Upgrade, Building B Bio-Expansion & Administration Expansion, Building B-Renovations and EU Upgrades and Small Animal Facility.

Treanor was also selected to design three projects identified in the study. Construction is complete for a 2,200 square foot expansion of the existing dock area at the south side of the second floor of Building B. This project incorporates additional 1,000 square feet of cooler space as well as additional dock storage space.

The 46,000 sq ft Bio-Expansion includes an additional filling line, blending suites, antigen production and central services, as well as mechanical space to support the addition. This addition / renovation also optimizes work flows within the existing building and reduces previously identified bottlenecks in production. The 11,000 sq ft Administration Expansion will provide office space as well as conferencing, and support facilities for the increased building staffing.

The project included multiple bid packages to achieve a fast track construction approach. Construction is now under way with substantial completion of the first phase scheduled for January 2011. Additionally, Treanor is currently working with BIVI on a comprehensive Master Plan for their North American Facilities.
