Altana Inc.

Altana, Inc. is a pharmaceutical company that has existing facilities in Melville and Hicksville, New York. Due to business growth they required an expansion of their laboratory facilities at their Melville site on Long Island. After a laboratory expansion conceptual study it was decided to convert existing tablet manufacturing, packaging and warehouse spaces into new laboratory facilities.

The new space required was approximately 10,000 SF and was to contain the following areas:

1. Wet Chemistry Lab
2. Electronics Lab
3. Methods Development Lab
4. Methods Development Office Area
5. Microbiology Lab

All plumbing, HVAC, electrical and other utilities were to be renovated and upgraded to accommodate the new use areas.

Altana selected EI Associates to provide design development, construction drawings, construction cost estimates, bidding phase and construction phase services for the complete renovation and upgrade project. All discipline expertise required was provided by EI’s in-house team of pharmaceutical design specialists.
