Cleanroom Renovation

Tapemark

To support increased headcount and new processes, Tapemark and BWBR designed a cleanroom renovation. The design incorporated temporary gowning and material transfer strategies to allow existing spaces to remain operational during construction. The completed space supports future cleanroom expansion.

BWBR developed gowning areas to support the increased staff count, as well as ISO-8 cleanroom space to support new mixing and cutting process equipment. The facilitation of equipment moves support more efficient production processes.
