American Laboratories Pharmaceutical Manufacturing & Distribution Facility

Omaha, NE

American Laboratories manufactures and markets ingredients used in human, pet nutrition, and food processing products.

Holland Basham Architects worked with American Labs to renovate and design an FDA compliant addition to their existing facility. Over a dozen independent HVAC systems and approximately 250 HEPA filters were installed across the phases. The addition included explosion-proof cleanroom spaces, pharmaceutical tableting area, biological product processing, freezers, coolers and multiple pressurized isolated zones. The mechanical system upgrades included purified water, purified compression air, steam, chilled water, vacuum, dust collection, and liquid heptane.
