Carnegie Mellon University partnered with Emerald Cloud Lab to establish the world’s first automated cloud lab within an academic setting. This lab offers state-of-the-art research facilities for life sciences and chemistry. The lab spans 16,551 SF with 2,700 SF of office space on the second floor. The layout has been designed to manage utility connections at each bench module efficiently. In this facility, a combination of robotic instrumentation and trained operations personnel carry out experiments precisely according to researchers’ instructions. The project involved renovating the warehouse into a remote-controlled laboratory with over 100 unique scientific instruments for life sciences and chemistry experiments, giving CMU-affiliated researchers access to various tools 24/7/365. Work included updated HVAC systems for temperature and humidity control, electrical and data upgrades for equipment and lighting, utility optimization, material handling, process prep areas, office and shared space, and high-density storage areas. During construction, Mosites built a mock-up of the custom-fabricated lab bench pod to coordinate MEP elements, including branched ductwork with CMU’s laboratory equipment. Mosites developed and coordinated the project schedule around the equipment installation process, which took six months.
