This project involved a fast-track renovation of an antiquated blood services laboratory, product labeling area, refrigerated storage space and collection suites. The 10,000-s.f. renovation enabled the American Red Cross's Midwest facility to quickly comply with new federal regulations and meet the growing demand to process blood supply.

Facility components included donor collection, aphaeresis collection, sample management, leukoreduction, labeling, quality control laboratory, serology laboratory, general laboratory and product storage. Phased renovation allowed the existing laboratory to remain in operation continuously.
