Lab Renovation
When German-owned Bruker AXS, a manufacturer of analytical x-ray systems, wanted to build a new manufacturing plant and office facility in the Promega Research Park in 1999, they selected Kraemer Brothers to provide both the design and construction of their new facility. The 46,000 square foot facility has 18,000 square feet of a high-bay manufacturing area, which is outfitted with a white reflective floor surface, requiring very precise finishing on the part of Kraemer Brothers’ cement finishers. The balance of the space consists of offices and research labs for the growing company. The building layout was developed to reflect optimal workflow patterns to create a pleasant work environment throughout both the office and manufacturing spaces. Bruker AXS selected us again for their interior renovations in 2019, which consisted of converting 11,000 square feet into new lab space, allowing Bruker AXS to consolidate the operations of multiple divisions of the company into one building. Bruker AXS was able to remain fully operational during our renovation activities that required creating laser safe labs for the company’s operations.
