Kelley-Ross Compounding Pharmacy

Project Details

State-of-the-Art Clean Room Technology

Kelley-Ross Pharmacy (KRP) brought Aldrich on board to provide early conceptual budgeting even before an architect was selected. Aldrich supported the owner in selecting an architect and brought design-build mechanical and electrical subcontractors that teamed together to bring the best value to KRP. Early in the process, Aldrich provided a cost analysis to support KRP in their decision to utilize a modular clean room/anteroom system that ultimately met the owner's needs for functionality and high-level sterility for the compounding area. Testing of air sterility following completion far exceeded requirements for USP 797 Pharmaceutical Compounding – Sterile Preparations.

One of the challenges to the project was exhaust of caustic fumes from biosafety cabinet due to residential apartments above the medical office portion of the building. Aldrich strategized with the design-build HVAC subcontractor to utilize existing mechanical louvers meeting code requirements for separation from the residences.

Thank you so much for all you have done to design and create our new campus and for each milestone that brought this project to life. To watch it grow and turn into a wonderful new campus was truly amazing and I want each of you to know how much NKC appreciates your attention to detail and focus on our project, our patients and our staff.
