## Part 2 of the AES Cleanroom Conceptual Design Paradigm series.

### *Converting Spaces for GMP Operations Part 2* Presented by: Matt Dean & Andrew Garber June 16, 2025

Most life sciences operations don’t start with a blank slab. They inherit warehouses, industrial buildings, and multi-tenant commercial space, then have to make them cGMP-ready. In this on-demand webinar, AES Director of Process Architecture Matt Dean (RA, NCARB) and Mechanical Engineering Manager Andrew Garber (PE) walk through the realities of conversion: commercial versus industrial infrastructure tradeoffs, GMP flows and airlock schemes, HVAC and AHU strategy, and two real case studies showing how the Compass Project Roadmap™ moves a project from conceptual design through phased build-out.

 

Drawing on 15 years of biopharma and life sciences design experience, Matt & Andrew offer candid, design-rooted insight you can apply to your next project, expansion, or compliance review.
