¾«¶«Ó°Òµ turned a former Kohl’s department store in Louisville into a modern laboratory and office space for Biodesix, a lung disease diagnostic company. Early partnership in schematic design helped ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ, the client and design team to overcome challenges, including extensive, complex upgrades to the MEP systems, early procurement of long-lead items, and an expedited schedule.

The new Biodesix facility features 63,000 square feet of office and 17,000 square feet of laboratory space. For this transformative project, ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ gutted the building’s interior to create office and laboratories, including BSL-2 space for light chemical use, replaced the existing MEP system, and increased the structural strength of the building to accommodate additional MEP equipment on the roof.

¾«¶«Ó°Òµ provided self-perform services for demolition, concrete, and drywall. The team also brought on the mechanical and electrical contractors at design development to engage in design-assist collaboration and value engineering.

Following a year of preconstruction, demolition began in October 2022.
