Genzyme Genetics, a business unit of Genzyme Corporation, is a
leading, nationwide provider of high quality genetic testing
and genetic counseling services for physicians and their patients.
With laboratories and counseling facilities located across
the US, Genzyme Genetics offers extensive reproductive and
cancer testing services, supported by innovative technology
and a commitment to quality service and trusted information. Genzyme's
Phoenix laboratory is dedicated to oncology diagnostic testing.
With several recent staff additions and a need for technology
upgrades, Genzyme decided to move the Phoenix office to a new
location that could better accommodate their needs.
After locating a suitable space in an existing complex, Syska
was contracted to customize the space into a high-tech laboratory
facility to support Genzyme's services. Although Genzyme did
not pursue LEED® certification, the space is designed to LEED
Certified standards. Specialty features include Fluorescence
In Situ Hybridization (FISH) analysis and microscopy suites,
chemical waste area and a humidity-controlled laboratory. The team
worked within an aggressive construction schedule and incorporated
several energy-efficient features to achieve the owner's project
goals. Sustainable elements include demand ventilation control,
occupancy sensors, waterless urinals, low flow fixtures and
lighting controls in the common areas and offices. The facility
also features secured spaces and 24-hour security.
