  • Each laboratory room 248, 250, 252, 254, 256 is subdivided into a gowning space and a laboratory space.
  • the conventional building structure 203 also comprises a first corridor 258 which extends around the laboratory rooms 248, 250, 252, 254, 256 and also has a portion which extends between the first, second, third and fourth laboratory rooms 248, 250, 252, 254, which are positioned in a line adjacent one another, and the fifth laboratory room 256.
  • the corridor 258 is subdivided by three doors 259a, 259b, 259c to form an 'entrance' corridor 258a and an 'exit' corridor 258b.
  • the conventional building structure 203 also comprises a third stairwell 260, which is disposed directly above and adjoins the first stairwell 238 to form a single stairwell between the first and second floors, and a second stairwell 262 which is disposed directly above and adjoins the second stairwell 240 to form a single stairwell between the first and second floors.
  • Each plant room pod is fabricated using uprights, longitudinal and lateral beams, and panels having standard configurations such as those used in the fabrication of the laboratory pod 104 described with reference to Figure 3 , and is equipped with service modules, as required.
  • the plant room pods 204, 206, 208, 242, 244, 246 may be assembled off-site away from the conventional building structure 203 before being transported to the building location and loated in position adacent the conventional building structure 203, as shownin Figures 13 and 14 . Once in position the plant room pods 204, 206, 208, 242, 244, 246 are joined with the conventional building structure and clad with a suitable cladding system that is the same as the cladding system used for the conventional building structure 203 so as to create the appearance of an integrated facility 202.
  • Figures 15 and 16 show a facility having a single primary function module in the form of a dry room pod 304; two transition modules in the form of an air lock module 306 and a lobby module 308; and a support module in the form of a plant room pod 310.
  • Each pod is fabricated using uprights, longitudinal and lateral beams, and panels having standard configurations such as those used in the fabrication of the laboratory pod 104 described with reference to Figure 3 , and is equipped with service modules, as required.
  • the modular building construction system may be used for a range of applications including the fabrication of medical, research and manufacturing facilities.
  • the modular building construction system may be used to construct vaccine development facilities, cell gene therapy facilities and advanced therapy medicinal product facilities.
  • Buildings may use heat recovery, heat pumps and integrated solar panels to reduce or eliminate carbon dioxide emissions.
  • the modular building construction system may reduce the amount of space (area) required for a plant room by 50% or more.
