User requirements & workflow
Reviewing room relationships, operational movement and the functional purpose of each space.
Flagship specialist project
FDA Specialist Laboratory Infrastructure Programme.
A turnkey transformation of existing space into a high-specification laboratory environment for Ghana’s Food and Drugs Authority, supported by the European Union.
Project overview
Coordinating the building around the science.
Laboratory projects demand more than good finishes. Workflow, architecture, airflow, mechanical and electrical services, specialist furniture, equipment interfaces, safety and documentation must operate as one coordinated system.
JOCL’s role brings those disciplines together through design development, controlled demolition, structural alteration, technical coordination, specialist fit-out and close engagement with the client, users and project stakeholders.
The public summary is intentionally high-level to protect sensitive technical, operational and security information.
Coordinated scope
Specialist workstreams managed as one delivery problem.
The programme demonstrates JOCL’s capacity to manage high-specification institutional environments with multiple technical interfaces.
Architectural coordination
Space planning, controlled demolition, partitions, ceilings, doors, finishes and specialist detailing.
HVAC & airflow
Coordinating environmental control, ventilation, filtration and room-service requirements.
Mechanical & electrical services
Integrated plumbing, power, low-voltage and technical building-services interfaces.
Laboratory fit-out
Specialist interiors, furniture, benches, equipment locations and service connection points.
Testing & close-out
Inspection, commissioning coordination, snagging, documentation and readiness for handover.
Project imagery
Coordination in meetings, on drawings and on site.
What the project demonstrates
JOCL can deliver where architecture and engineering must perform together.
The laboratory programme builds on JOCL’s core construction experience while demonstrating deeper capability in controlled technical environments, stakeholder coordination and detailed building-services integration.
