Toronto Metropolitan University MaRS Lab Fit-Out

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The fit-out of the MaRs Laboratory at 11th Floor included dry labs, wet labs and laboratory support spaces. The facility provides open concept CL-2 wet labs comprised of multiple benches with flexible shelving, storage, cabinetry, sinks in addition to dry labs made up of six Principle Investigator (PI) offices, open office areas and workspaces, meeting space, an interactive space for food prep, and half-lockers to accommodate approximately 80-students. Lab support spaces include cryogenic storage, cold rooms, glass wash stations, storage for lab equipment and consumables, and spaces dedicated to tissue culture and radioisotopes.

An occupied and operational research building, tenants were sensitive to noise, dust, and vibration generated by construction activities. Eastern developed a noise mitigation plan, logistics plan, and a dust/debris plan. Recognizing the need to communicate with existing tenants and building management planned shut-downs and service interruptions months in advance, coordinating with all affected stakeholders.
