“You have done a great job, G3 is fantastic … delivering this modular setup here for the new lung cancer research centre is incredible … It gives us the flexibility, so thank you!”


Hon. Brad Hazzard

NSW Minister for Health

G3lab was selected to design and deliver a revolutionary new laboratory for Lung Cancer Research in Sydney, designed and constructed using an all new future-proof lab fitout system first pioneered in Germany.

The modern, purpose-built research laboratory will change the way a deadly cancer is diagnosed, treated and studied both in Australia and globally.

Acting as a hub for researchers working in the area of lung cancer, the facility will provide tissue, cellular material and patient-related information with a dedicated bio-bank and data centre for research project centralisation. A state-of-the-art laboratory was an essential platform for this ground breaking work.

The most significant requirement of this project was the need to be flexible for future reconfiguration, and/or relocation to another building if required. To achieve this goal, the design utilises a unique structural grid ceiling system which supports suspended ‘service columns’ for all hydraulic and electrical services. These service columns can be relocated very simply to almost any location on the grid ceiling system, allowing a wide choice of lab layouts at any point in the future.

G3LAB SCOPE OF WORKS INCLUDED:

  • Design and construct service

  • Floor to soffit flexible lab fitout

  • Flooring, walls and ceilings

  • Dangerous goods storage

  • Specialty gases

  • HVAC balancing system

  • Fume Cupboards

  • Articulated exhaust devices

  • Central Vacuum system

  • PC2 and OGTR consulting.

Cutting edge HVAC balancing with Accuvalve technology was integrated to the project to carefully balance the lab airflows according to PC2 and non-PC2 requirements, and to allow the HVAC system to respond quickly and precisely to the variable exhaust load from fume cupboards and articulated exhaust devices.

These Labs show that world leading future-proof lab design can be successfully adapted to local lab codes, allowing owners and users more flexibility than ever before.

The Centre for Lung Cancer Research was opened by NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard on Wednesday, April 18th 2018.
