Kite Pharma Peer Review

• Midway through the concept design phase for Kite’s new 60,000 sq. ft. ground up cell therapy manufacturing facility, the internal design and construction team determined the design team they had hired was behind. They reached out to our team to review the MEP drawings. We found several code violations on the power drawings that would have not only further delayed the building occupancy date, it would have been expensive to remove and reinstall the systems if they had already been installed.

​

• The revised value engineering layout of the central utility plant limited expansion of the power and cooling plant. The campus master plan included doubling the site R&D and manufacturing capacity, so we proposed options for future plant expansion.

​​

• While Kite initially hired us to peer review one building, the scope of our consulting expanded significantly based on the input we gave during the review.
