The Building Design Team provides a fully integrated facility design and architectural service.

Where the building is an integral part of the process, a lead architect is assigned to the project to take responsibility for facility design to best serve the manufacturing process, in terms of layout of manufacturing areas, changing, people and material flows and other required building services to support manufacturing operations.

The architect will understand both requirements of the process and building services, which will enable integrated conceptual layout to be developed. HVAC and other building services and architectural details will be developed as part of the building design. As with other Teams, full use is made of CAD and CAE packages.

The co-ordination of the equipment in terms of location within the building and the connection of all interfaces with the building are a critical part of the project. GMP Group is fully aware of the requirements of all types of pharmaceutical equipment and the need to co-ordinate the efforts of the design and construction team, the equipment supplier and the validation team, to successfully integrate the equipment into the facility.
