Wexford Center for Innovative Science
Pittsburgh, PA
Overview
Wexford Science and Technology and the University of Pittsburgh partnered to provide a state-of-the-art immunotherapy lab research facility from a renovation of an historic building that once housed production of the Model-T by the Ford Motor Company. EAS worked with state and local officials to provide equipment that was compliant with local codes and tied in to historical building features. EAS participated as a design assist partner to develop a mechanical penthouse to provide by air side and water side building services.
