Cutting-Edge cGMP mRNA Facility

Manufacturing Facility & QC Lab | Emeryville, California

DPR Construction assisted a next-generation RNA therapeutics confidential life sciences client in building a new cGMP (good manufacturing practice) manufacturing facility and QC (quality control) laboratory, with associated support areas, in an existing building. The project was built within an existing leased office space that measures approximately 5,500 sq.-ft.

Purpose-Built for mRNA Production

The project involved the buildout of a new cGMP manufacturing facility, a quality control (QC) laboratory, and associated support areas within an existing leased office space totaling 5,500 sq.-ft. To support the cGMP program, new rooftop equipment infrastructure was installed.

The cGMP manufacturing facility featured a clean room designed for small-scale mRNA production, along with a separate dedicated controlled storage area—both cold and ambient—located elsewhere in the building. These spaces were built to ISO-rated requirements to handle Biosafety Level 2 (BSL2) compounds. Additional facility components included gowning and de-gowning areas, locker rooms, airlocks and access corridors, all tailored to meet the operational and safety needs of the program.
