Pfizer R&D Facility
Chesterfield, MO
This integrated delivery project resonates a connection with science through the purposeful renovation of two buildings on Pfizer’s 4.5-acre site with advanced facilities, including specialized laboratories and equipment. A site focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of small-molecule cancer treatment. This multi-phased renovation enhances science and the workplace experience while improving safety, efficiency, and functionality.
LJC’s national team helped refine Pfizer’s global workplace design standards to respond to site-specific requirements and COVID-19 protocols. Collaborating closely with Pfizer’s leadership, detailed phasing of the project minimized disruption while protecting the lab environments.
Renovations to this campus include lab improvements for enzymology and structural biology, cell biology, and medical chemistry, along with ancillary support, including glass washing, cold storage, and robotics. Upgrades include neighborhood workstations with collaboration spaces, a meditation room, a flexible, creative space, and a game room.
The LJC team performed extensive on-site building assessments using laser scanning to determine the status of all building systems because there was no documentation of the existing building. 3D scans allowed the team to integrate the architectural and MEP improvements and minimize surprises during construction.
