specialized environments for innovation and discovery
In today’s society, the speed of scientific innovation matters. Institutions and start-ups face the challenges of inventory, regulatory standards, and competition for research space. Clinical trials and drug speed to market impact patient safety and financial returns. Complex science has intense infrastructure needs: spaces must have flexibility to change as technology and techniques change.
From designing a clinical vector manufacturing suite to help realize the enormous promise of gene transfer therapy, to a healthcare operating suite housing New York City’s first MRI-guided linear accelerator for precision radiation treatment of tumor, Ballinger’s is proud to celebrate scientific achievements with our design work in this field.
