Your best resource for facilities planning and management conferences
T
his is THE conference on the planning, design, construction, operation and biosecurity
details for biocontainment facilities. It addresses all biocontainment levels and all project
types ranging from new construction to retrofits, and from total buildings to lab wings and
isolated containment suites.
The key to successful biocontainment projects lies in the details – details on space allocation,
systems, furniture, equipment, materials, construction, operations, and biosecurity. This is true
for all BSL levels (BSL3, ABSL3, BSL3-Ag and BSL4) and all applications (pathogen labs, animal
facilities, clinical space, or pharmaceutical environments).
Don’t build, or even plan, without the necessary information this conference will give you.
Here you’ll learn:

Exclusive to Tradeline conferences is the
Town Hall Meeting, a rich source of current
data and contacts. This interactive session
allows questions and commentary from the
audience on key findings and lessons learned.
Real-time note-taking displayed on the big
screen builds a group-created planning
document that identifies even more people
with whom you’ll want to benchmark on
specific ideas and issues. Town Hall Meeting
notes are compiled and distributed to all
attendees after the conference.
“This was my first Tradeline conference and I am very pleased.
I’ve learned a lot and even when I thought a presentation didn’t
apply (to me) I found myself being challenged to rethink and
perhaps consider a new tool or apply a new network to
empower my decision making process.”

High-containment facility
lessons and operating ideas
from the U.K.’s CAMR
Biosafety Levels –
Perceptions, misperceptions,
guidelines, and realities
Convertible BSL3/4 Space?
Pros and cons and a verdict
on feasibility
Centre for Applied Microbiology & Research, U.K.
Dr. Graham Lloyd – GPM Special Pathogens
University of California, Davis
Philip C. Tillman, DVM – Campus Veterinarian
UTMB – Galveston
Lee H. Thompson – Health and Safety Services
The extremely complex task of planning,
constructing and operating high-containment
labs is being shaped by new developments at
the international level. Here, Dr. Graham
Lloyd sets out legislative and technical issues
that are driving best practices in the U.K. for
BSL3&4 containment labs, lab upgrades and
operations. He describes containment lab
features being adopted in the U.K., innovative
ideas that work, and lessons learned in facility
planning, operations and facility renovations.
He also reports on the design and operational
implications of recent ergonomic studies
involving containment facilities.
Biocontainment facility projects involve
the participation of scientists, engineers,
designers and health & safety staff who may
all have different concepts of what it means
to work at a given BSL level. Here, Phil
Tillman illustrates a methodology for
assigning appropriate BSL levels and bringing
clarity to such questions as: “Do I really need
a P3 facility?” “What does a BSL3 sheep
surgery look like?” “How do you contain
agents that are ubiquitous in the external
local environment?”... and other real-life
high-containment research questions.
BSL4 space is expensive to build. If it is used
only part time, it becomes a costly asset
indeed! So, why not build a facility that can
be used for both BSL3 and BSL4? Here, Lee
Thompson details what BSL3/4 convertible
space and the accompanying support
systems look like, and how such a facility
would actually operate. He sets out the pros
and cons of the convertibility idea along with
the design, construction and cost
implications, and an assessment of
economies and operating feasibility.
Canada’s Winnipeg facility
examines new strategies &
protocols for emergency
preparedness and
biosecurity
Canadian Science Centre for Human & Animal Health
Dr. Stefan Wagener, CSBP – Science Director, Biosafety
& Environment
What’s your response plan for an airplane
crashing into your facility? Who has access
to your lab? How do you secure pathogens?
Even before 9/11, Canada’s Science Centre
for Human & Animal Health in Winnipeg has
been aggressively tackling safety, emergency,
security and communication requirements.
Here, Dr. Stefan Wagener explains the
facility and procedural security issues and
the solutions the Centre is pursuing,
including making security plans an integral
part of the organization’s management fabric
and its community relations program.
Georgia State’s National
B-virus Resource Lab – BSL
facility features & operating
protocols
National B-virus Resource Lab, Georgia State
University
Dr. Julia Hilliard – Director
In most research buildings, BSL-rated spaces
come in a variety of flavors and locations.
This presents significant planning, design,
logistical and operating challenges. Here, Dr.
Julia Hilliard profiles the BSL spaces found
in Georgia State University’s National B-virus
Resource Laboratory. She illustrates the
variety of science programs being carried
out, the allocation of BSL lab space, facility
features, fit-ups and operating protocols for
BSL4 glove-box labs, BSL-plus lab space, and
a BSL4 robotics lab. Her findings yield useful
best-practice planning and operating ideas
and lessons learned.

NIAID’s findings on
containment facilities for
biodefense research
NIAID, Division of Microbiology and Infectious
Diseases – NIH
Rona Hirschberg, PhD – Senior Program Officer,
Biodefense Research Affairs
NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases is taking a lead position
in shaping the nation’s biodefense research
capability. Here, Rona Hirshberg illustrates the
latest thinking about biodefense containment
facility requirements drawn from the current
national initiative for new regional U.S.
biodefense research centers, plus her group’s
own experience with biocontainment labs. She
illustrates how her group’s research processes
and facility use is shaping the conceptual
requirements and design approaches for these
types of containment facilities.
Biotoxin and other toxic
chemical research in
biocontainment labs: Very
different facility requirements
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Robert H. Hill, Jr., PhD – Acting Director, Office of
Health and Safety
BSL designations for laboratories don’t apply
when you’re doing research on post-incident
human exposure to, or environmental samples
suspected of containing, chemical toxins. You
may not be able to do that kind of work in a
BSL-rated lab. Bob Hill illustrates how facility
requirements for chemical toxins, including
biotoxin research, may differ from
biocontainment labs in terms of protocols,
equipment, methods for waste disposal,
decontamination, worker safety, and toxin
containment. He defines levels of chemical
toxin risk and sets out the corresponding
facility features and operating protocols.
Open Forum/Town Hall
Meeting
Tradeline, Inc.
Facilitator: Steve Westfall – President
Here you’ll learn about the experiences of
others with respect to such issues as: space
allocation, ADA compliance strategies,
maintenance requirements and procedures,
operating costs, and new products to know
about (materials, hardware, equipment and
systems), plus best practices on value
engineering, communications between users
and capital project people, control of people
access, and facility use. You’ll have an
opportunity to get answers from the group to
questions not fully addressed in the other
sessions. This is an interactive, audience
participation session, with real-time notetaking on a big-screen format. Information
gathered from participants will be compiled,
and session notes will be sent to all attendees.
“I’ve been to 4 or 5 Tradeline

Build your biocontainment facilities plan on
the critical process flows, protocols, and
planned use of equipment. That’s the thesis
of this session in which Jim Gazvoda and
Steve Freson set out a process-based
planning format for facilities that focuses on
the pathogens to be handled. They illustrate
how to define pathogen status from a facility
perspective, develop early protocols and
process-flow strategies, define points of
containment, and specify equipment and
systems. They illustrate how this
methodology works in research, clinical,
animal, and pharmaceutical settings.
E. How to turn obsolete
research space into a stateof-the-art biocontainment
facility
Gilbane Building Company
Al Miller – Project Executive

Mike Rose – Research Scientist
University of California, Davis
Clayton Halliday – Associate Director, Project Management
Varied agency BSL design guidelines and
classification standards pose a serious
planning and design problem for
biocontainment facility projects – whether
new construction or space retrofits. Here, a
panel of experts with international experience
in planning, designing, engineering and
operating biocontainment facilities codify
current essential best design practices and
make recommendations on right courses of
action. They use a newly completed project to
demonstrate how to interpret and resolve notyet-finalized industry thought and practice on
biocontainment facility plans and operations.
F. Facility commissioning –
criteria, testing and contracts
Affiliated Engineers, Inc.
Steven G. Frei, PE – Principal
Jean-Marc “Marc” LeBrun, PE – Commissioning Team
Leader
Don’t build a BSL-rated facility without a
commissioning plan! That’s the opinion of
virtually every owner who has done, or is
doing, a BSL-rated facility project. The
questions are: what tests and criteria need
to be specified; how to write and get a costeffective commissioning job; and who
should perform the service. Here, Steve
Frei and Marc LeBrun answer the
key commissioning questions and set
out commissioning contract guidelines,
representative fee structures, and the
pros and cons of using an independent
commissioning agent.

Space, equipment, people, containment.
Here, Jeff Schantz and Howard Wertheimer
set out the planning metrics and flexibility
guidelines for different types and sizes of
biocontainment spaces and the equipment
(current and future) they will need to contain.
They illustrate functional space layouts to
accommodate gowning vestibules, scientific
instrumentation, glove boxes, biological safety
cabinets, robotics, and the corresponding
support utility systems. They also detail
primary and secondary containment techniques,
key facility safety provisions and facility
flexibility concepts.
G. Understanding and
working with the unique
budget and construction
requirements of
biocontainment projects
McCarthy Building Companies, Inc.
Ed Harris – Project Director
Walter (Bud) Guest – Senior Vice President
Delivering a successful biocontainment
facility project depends on being in command
of the special cost, construction and logistic
requirements for these kinds of facilities.
Here, Eddie Harris and Bud Guest draw on
examples of new BSL3, BSL3-AG and BSL4
projects to illustrate construction costs,
schedules, and lessons learned in design,
procurement, construction and commissioning.
Their real-life findings provide a guide for
decision-making on technical and construction
details including mechanical systems,
structural solutions, and the choice of
materials (down to the density of concrete
and its curing time.)

D. System redundancy and
the quantification of risk
CUH2A Smith Carter
Sandy Ellis, AIA – Architect
Scott Stirton, AIA – Architect
Hemisphere Engineering US Inc.
Gilles Tremblay, CET – Controls Specialist
You want to be sure that your expenditures
for system redundancy are cost-effective in
reducing risk. In this forum you’ll learn how
biocontainment facility designs are now being
analyzed in terms of redundant systems and
the impact on the magnitude and probability
of a facility failure. Presenters illustrate a
methodology for calculating risk and deciding
on where to spend money most effectively for
risk reduction. They identify particularly
vulnerable components and sub-systems and
make recommendations for cost-effective
redundancy strategies.
“I am very glad I was able to attend. I’m coming away with

Kenneth Sigel – Director of Preconstruction
Virtually all-upcoming biocontainment facility
projects are going to be schedule-driven.
Fast construction, in combination with the
exacting performance requirements and
attention to detail that high-containment
space involves, demands special project fasttrack management methods. Here, session
leaders detail project organization by project
phases, the changing composition of the
team, issues and time-schedules for decisionmaking, the use of communication and
control tools, contractor evaluation and
selection, and contracting forms and key
contract provisions.

Most high-containment pathogen research
will be handled in BSL3-rated labs. The
planning and design challenges arise in that
BSL3 space is often scattered throughout
conventional lab buildings and frequently

(The Westin Resort at Port Royal Plantation)
Oct. 9-10, San Antonio, TX
Nov. 6-7, Hilton Head, SC
Four powerful factors are forging new
specifications, standards and plans for
research space: 1) The interdisciplinary team
approach to research 2) The rapid emergence
of new fields of science 3) The push for more
efficient research facilities 4) The pressure
for higher quality projects (more efficient
processes, better outcomes). At this highly
acclaimed annual planning conference series,
now in its 21st year, you’ll see and
benchmark against the latest plans for
bringing existing lab facilities up to current
research and technology standards, as well
as scoping out new construction and
expansion programs. You’ll get the planning
specifics, and you’ll learn the new ideas that
are working and those that are not.
(The Marriott Rivercenter on the Riverwalk)
(The Westin Resort at Port Royal Plantation)
Newly emerging nano-scale research programs
in the fields of materials, biotechnology and
electronics promise big breakthroughs for the
pharmaceutical, chemical, defense, and data
and communications industries. This new
wave of science will require special facility
types and lab fitups. Here you’ll learn about
the specialized types of nanotechnology
equipment to plan for along with the
corresponding space requirements, utility
demands, environmental controls and
structural criteria. Session leaders illustrate
new nanotechnology lab plans that are in
the pipeline involving new construction and
lab retrofits, plus lessons learned and the
impacts on overall building plans, space
utilization, and costs.
Attend Tradeline’s 15th annual college and
university facilities conference to pick up the
latest in innovative facility concepts, build on
the plans and lessons learned of others, and
make a leap forward in your own program
planning. Here, you’ll collect the latest
planning and design concepts for getting more
use from existing facilities and scoping out
new construction and expansion projects for
cost-effective classroom learning environments
and state-of-the-art research and science
teaching facilities. You’ll also benchmark your
institution on overall facilities infrastructure
management strategies and costs, and you’ll
learn what is working and what isn’t. Make
this conference an integral part of your group’s
2004-5 facilities planning agenda.

How will your current FM and CRE business
model work for 2004 and beyond? Not good
enough, according to current corporate
performance analysts. Radically different
business management and cost model are
in the offing, and you need to start working
on that model now. That’s the thesis of
this conference, which focuses on higherperformance FM/CRE business models and
the major initiatives needed to get there. It
takes on the big management and service
decisions that are connected with own/lease
strategies, locations, telecommute,
infrastructure services, outsourcing,
performance metrics, the use of technologies,
internal staffing capabilities, and costs. Here
you’ll pick up the forward-looking management
thinking behind where the leaders are headed
as well as the management decision-making
and tools they are using to get there.
