New room to grow.

Omicron provided architecture, engineering and construction of a new laboratory facility to replace Silliker’s existing food product testing site in Burnaby, BC.  Our focus was to create a dynamic space with the flexibility to grow future operations. The space consists of laboratory and laboratory support areas, with a front of house area for reception, office, staff and learning rooms.

The project had unique challenges. We needed to provide laboratory services within a building designed primarily for warehousing with 20 ft. ceilings. Gas and water systems required an elaborate ‘trapeze’ to carry the plumbing throughout the space. The trapeze, ductwork, lighting, exhaust and ceilings had to be seismically restrained. Further, most of the equipment required exhaust to travel through the ceiling to the roof and had to be concealed behind a large steel roof screen.

“I believe that using one firm for the design and build improves the accountability to deliver the final product on time and on budget.”
