Laboratory design according to the highest safety standards

A well designed lab meets the highest requirements and safety norms. It must be a workspace where safety and functionality are central. BESPARK understands that every centimetre matters when designing or renovating a laboratory. We look carefully at your specific needs. Are we dealing with an ML1, ML2 or ML3 lab? What is the balance between laboratory and office activities? How are the walking routes organised? Which equipment goes where, and how is access managed?

BESPARK creates not only a safe, responsible and functional working environment, but also a place where people feel comfortable and where research can take place optimally.

Fast, flexible and future proof

Our approach goes beyond the minimum requirements. A well designed laboratory must of course be safe and functional, but also pleasant to work in. We design spaces that use the available area efficiently, with an optimal layout and maximum use of time and resources. At the same time, we ensure the lab meets all safety standards and regulations.

Quality is our priority. We execute everything according to the highest standards: floors, work surfaces, windows and equipment connections. From the big picture to the smallest details. Future proofing is also essential. We design laboratories that are flexible and able to grow along with changing needs or expanding use.

When time is a key factor, we work according to the Design and Build method. Design and construction run in parallel wherever possible, allowing projects to progress quickly and smoothly. Thanks to our many years of lab design experience, quality, safety and functionality are never compromised.

Combining pharmaceutical labs

More and more often, multiple pharma labs need to be merged. How do you prevent cross contamination between product lines? Which cleanrooms can be shared, and where is strict separation required? We guide the entire process. From analysing both labs to designing the new facility, and from safe relocation to a precise final delivery. We ensure work processes align seamlessly and staff transition smoothly. The result? One modern pharmaceutical lab that operates more efficiently.

Which types of pharmaceutical laboratories do we build?

ML1 laboratory

An ML1 lab is suitable for work with low risk micro organisms. This level is often used for quality control and standard pharmaceutical analyses. The safety requirements are relatively limited, but precise and well organised.

ML2 laboratory

In an ML2 lab, work is carried out with micro organisms that pose a moderate risk. Stricter requirements apply here: separate rooms, specific air handling systems and additional safety procedures. We ensure that all systems function optimally and comply with all regulations.

ML3 laboratory

An ML3 lab requires maximum safety. High risk pathogens demand features such as negative pressure rooms, airlock systems and strict access control. This complex level is our speciality; we have the knowledge and experience to execute this transition according to every requirement.

Validation and GMP compliance

For pharmaceutical labs, validation is essential. Before delivery, we carry out thorough tests and validations and check all safety measures. Every system must demonstrably function as intended. That is Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). This ensures you have a safe and properly designed laboratory that meets all requirements.

At BESPARK, we take this into account from the very beginning. We document design decisions, work according to validated procedures and provide all required documentation. After delivery, we test everything, including climate systems, and verify that all parameters remain within specification. This prevents surprises on your side and guarantees a smooth transition.
