ROSALIND FRANKLIN CENTER
Manufacturing Facility
Named after chemist and x-ray crystallographer, Rosalind Franklin, this facility houses the large-scale manufacturing of proteins for various Promega products. Starting off this building program, Kraemer Brothers built out existing storage space into a wellness center and remodeled offices to an inviting open layout. Most recently Promega expanded their manufacturing operations to include production rooms, cold rooms, laboratories, and material storage rooms. Located in the large production room are four 4000-liter process tanks connected with a raised platform and the process panels used to control each tank. Sophisticated HVAC and specialized production equipment can be found throughout the addition. The mechanical systems used to run and power the production equipment, along with material storage rooms, are located in the basement. A ph-neutralization system, used for neutralizing all waste before being discharged, helps the surrounding environment and improves safety for the scientists. Finally, an automated CIP system is installed to help clean the 4,000-liter process and smaller portable tanks found throughout the production labs. Promega was able to remain fully operational during these renovations and additions.
