ttend this conference to get ahead of the biocontainment facilities planning curve with the new facility standards, strategies, and solutions that are delivering more efficient facility operations, cost-effective upgrades, and capital-saving research facility expansions involving the full spectrum of high-containment facility configurations – rooms, suites, floors, entire buildings, and pre-fabricated containment modules.

This annual conference, now in its 13th year, is the industry meeting where capital project and operations people, designers, consultants, research administrators, biosafety professionals, regulatory experts, and financial officers meet to develop consensus and set in motion institutional plans for capital, operations, and finance for successful research programs and the infrastructure needed to support those programs.

Here you’ll learn the details on the latest high-containment facility concepts, plans, and initiatives that are successfully delivering right-scaled high-containment capacity that is safe, secure, compliant, and operationally dependable for the lowest possible outlay of capital and annual operating costs. These are the necessary details for:

• Lower operating costs

• New airflow control standards

• Regulatory and certification compliance

• Maintenance standards and processes

• Facility upgrade projects

• High-containment suites in non-containment buildings

• Competent personnel

• Commissioning, start-up, re-verification policies and processes

• Energy-use reduction

• The integration of control systems

• Decision-making on materials and equipment

• Decisions on decontamination and waste treatment

Plus, this conference’s special Fundamentals courses provide an opportunity to get members of your team up to speed quickly on the fundamentals of capital projects, operations, and new compliance requirements for BSL facilities.

• The Fundamentals of Planning and Design of Biocontainment Facilities

• NEW! The Fundamentals of BSL-3/ABSL-3 Operations & Maintenance

Michael McLeod, CFM, PMP, LEED AP—Director, Facilities Management and Operations

Benchmark your operating cost figures against Arizona State University Biodesign Institute’s eight years of BSL-3 and ABSL-3 facility operating data. In this data-intensive report, Michael McLeod delivers operating process details and cost areas for certifications, maintenance and repair, utilities, security, information technology, and administration, with information provided by researchers, biosafety officers, biocontainment specialists, and technicians. He illustrates what can be achieved in the way of cost reduction measures, and profiles the effects that federally-mandated upgrades to containment facilities have on capital and operating budgets.

Facility performance verification process details for ABSL-3Iowa State University

Amy Helgerson – Biosafety Specialist

This session sets out key details of BSL3/ABSL-3 failure mode testing processes that will inform decisions on annual verification punch lists, equipment selection, commissioning, and building automation systems. Amy Helgerson illustrates what’s now on Iowa State University’s facility performance verification activity list, and how that led the ISU operations and maintenance team to identify air pressure reversal conditions not detected by their ABSL-3 facility’s building automation system. She delivers an equipment failure analysis and scopes out the research impact, remediation measures, and lessons learned on staffing, building technology, and maintenance responses.

If I only knew then, what I know now: Operating lessons learned for biocontainment facilitiesUniversity of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston

John McCall – Director of Information Technology and Telecommunications

New information technology solutions for BSL-3 and BSL-4 facilities are solving the asset tracking, personnel monitoring, and worker communication problems associated with personal protective equipment and physical environment design. John McCall scopes out what it takes to plan and roll out a wireless networking and voice-over-IP system that meets safety, security, and compliance requirements. He illustrates Boston University’s National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory’s project drivers, researcher and support staff applications, ergonomic concerns and solutions, and he profiles findings on installation, testing, staff training, and initial operation.

Highly efficient facility operating and maintenance models for BSL-3 and Select AgentsDuke University Medical Center, Regional Biocontainment Laboratory

Scott Alderman, MS, CBSP – Director of Safety & Operations

Safety and security of biocontainment facilities depends largely on orchestrating key groups of people through a strategic management and staffing model. Scott Alderman reports on key components of Duke University’s management model for Duke’s Regional Biocontainment Laboratory, including cross-training of key personnel, selective out-tasking of maintenance tasks, and investments in information technology and equipment repair certifications for support staff. He illustrates engagement strategies for research teams, security, and occupational medicine, and best practices for choreographing studies and facility projects. He also outlines how Z9.14 applies to Duke’s facility certification testing processes.

Steve Freson, AIA – Principal

Lauri Kempfer – Laboratory Planner

Put simply, there is no room in today’s biocontainment facility project budgets for the mistakes that have been made in the past. Avoid learning the same painful lessons that others have learned! Steve Freson and Lauri Kempfer identify five all-too-common project planning, design, and construction mistakes that can result in costly delays, budget overruns, facility startup problems, and operating bugs that can cripple research programs for decades. They chart new processes for standard operating procedures, design, and operating model alignment, and they deliver decision making tools for project teams that contribute to streamlined, complication-free construction and startup.

“Tradeline programs have been the foundation for our Design & Construction Group. We haven’t found a quality knowledge exchange that comes anywhere close to what you have to offer. The confluence of thought leaders, peers who are facing the same issues, and consultants who you can evaluate at the conference who also can help you get your jobs done is to me the ‘sheer genius’ of the conference concept you have created and sustained over the years. Congratulations! You are making contributions to what we do and who we serve in ways that you couldn’t in your wildest [dreams] even imagine.”
