MEDTECH CASE STUDY

Bio-medical manufacturing cleanroom Design development, design coordination and construction of Bio-medical manufacturing cleanroom space to ISO 6/7 standard. Client: Boston Scientific Location: Clonmel, Tipperary, Ireland Project Size: 3,700 m2 Duration: 10 weeks

Phase 2: Cleanroom Production Facility The second phase converted office space into a state-of-the-art cleanroom, complete with gowning and material anti-lock rooms. This involved demolishing existing spaces, stripping out M&E services, and installing advanced systems, including HEPA filters, AHUs, lighting, and access controls. The architectural fit-out featured cleanroom ceilings, vinyl flooring, fire-rated doors, and stainless-steel fixtures. Externally, a corridor extension added a new employee entrance and three offices. This work, completed in just 10 weeks, included drainage, structural steelwork, roofing, cladding, and curtain walling. Operating within an active pharmaceutical site required meticulous planning, strict safety protocols, and minimal disruption. Controlled access and hygiene adherence were paramount. The project delivered a modern, functional, and sustainable facility, enhancing Boston Scientific’s operations while fostering employee well-being.

As part of Boston Scientific’s expansion in Clonmel, the project aimed to upgrade workplace facilities, expand lab and production areas, and establish seamless connections between new and existing spaces. The company sought a construction partner capable of delivering top- tier results in a live pharmaceutical environment. Ardmac’s expertise in operational settings and SMART processes made us the ideal choice. Phase 1: Agile Office Fit-Out The first phase transformed unused first-floor space into a modern, agile office. Key upgrades included raised access floors, partitions, glazing, bespoke joinery, acoustic meeting pods, and industrial- style finishes. A four-pipe coil system and sprinkler installation ensured energy-efficient heating and cooling. The design, aligned with Boston Scientific’s global standards, featured biophilic elements, acoustic baffles, felt walls, and a white noise system to promote comfort, focus, and well-being. A new toilet block with accessible, sleek facilities complemented the office fit-out.
