Spaces That Allow Science to Thrive
Pharmaceutical organisations operate at the cutting edge of science, striving to create new medicines and treatments that transform the lives of the people around us. This responsibility comes with strict compliance and accuracy laws that are non-negotiable.
This presents companies with a dual challenge. On the one hand, their environment requires strict control and regulation, but it must also be a space that inspires staff to do their best work and collaborate with their colleagues.
Office Insights overcomes that challenge by delivering pharmaceutical fitouts that balance compliance with functionality. At the core of our spaces are the people who’ll be working in them, which is why we work alongside you to create an area that ticks all the boxes.
Designing for Precision and Compliance
Pharma facilities are unlike standard commercial spaces and face greater levels of scrutiny than a typical office in a city centre would.
Virtually every detail comes under the microscope of Compliance frameworks such as the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
Air quality, for instance, is measured to ensure contamination can’t occur, and surface finishes are another aspect that needs to meet stringent standards if a pharmaceutical organisation is to be allowed to carry out work.
To ensure compliance is met, Office Insights incorporates:
01
Cleanable, durable materials which withstand rigorous hygiene regimes.
02
Specialist storage solutions that house controlled substances and sensitive materials.
03
Zoning and layout planning to keep cross-contamination risks low.
We work alongside compliance officers and regulatory stakeholders during the design stage to create something bespoke to your organisation and its needs.
Balancing Functionality with Employee Wellbeing
Modern pharma environments, while places of medical breakthroughs, can feel sterile. There’s no denying that. While this is necessary in places, pharmaceutical spaces don’t have to diminish staff comfort. It’s about finding a balance.
Our team of designers create spaces such as breakout areas and cafes alongside labs and offices to help teams recharge. We know how important it is that teams have a space where they can hang up their lab coats and take time for themselves away from the lab environment.
Within each space, you’ll find ergonomic furniture that ensures comfort during long shifts as well as task lighting that prevents straining and fatigue. Biophilic design elements can also be woven into your pharmaceutical fitout to keep the mental well-being of these very important people at a good level.
A good office space is not just a nice bonus. It can be a competitive differentiator when retaining and hiring top talent, too. Giving the best pharmaceutical talent a space to work and recharge goes a long way when they’re deciding where to work next.
Our Pharmaceutical Fit Out Process
Our process handles both the technical rigour and the creative vision needed for a successful pharmaceutical fit-out. In the years we have been helping pharmaceutical companies, we have honed our process to what it is today, which is collaborative without distracting you from the work at hand.
01
Consultation: We’ll learn about your operations, compliance requirements, and culture.
02
Concept design: The next step sees us produce layouts that blend technical lab precision and modern workplace comforts.
03
Material and finish selection: We’ll showcase compliant, aesthetically pleasing finishes that meet strict hygiene requirements without diminishing your brand.
04
Integration: Seamless installation of the specialist lab equipment you need, as well as HVAC systems and secure storage.
05
Quality assurance: Expect regular site checks and a final audit to ensure all aspects of your new workspace meet your expectations as well as regulators.
Creating Inspiring Pharmaceutical Environments
Anyone working in the medical or pharmaceutical space knows that discovery forms a large part of their work, and the workspace in which that takes place plays a big part in encouraging collaboration.
Our designers know this, which is why we incorporate hubs and open collaboration areas where cross-disciplinary teams can share knowledge. Integrating technology into these spaces helps to speed up that process. AV systems and super-fast connectivity support real-time collaboration with partners across the world.
We do all this while still maintaining the functional backbone of compliance and safety, the result of which is a space that sets you apart from your competitors.
Sustainable Spaces
Pharma is not alone in having to reckon with and curb its environmental impact. As more Net Zero targets are introduced, greater scrutiny is being placed on large industries to mitigate their emissions.
We help you align with this by creating an office which prioritises:
- Energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems
- Recyclable and responsibly sourced materials
- Designs that last for years
Our sustainable pharmaceutical office fit-outs don’t compromise compliance. The two simply work hand in hand.
