When renovating a cleanroom, or creating one from non-cleanroom space, understanding the details — of the site, building, planned research, and equipment — is essential. A cleanroom can be used for many things: semiconductor fabrication, microelectronics assembly, aeronautical assembly and testing, pharmaceutical research or manufacturing, or geochemistry. One size definitely does not fit all.
A facility transformation begins long before the A&E and other service providers are invited to the table. Typically, a business model is used to map out and project demand for specific products, estimate product production rates, and time lines for expected product introduction and product ramp-up to match the expected demand. Several factors are considered to determine where the facility should be located: proximity to the customer pool, availability of qualified on-site resources and availability of existing infrastructure, market conditions, and regulatory climate.
