Modular Laboratory Buildings

Germfree's Modular Laboratory Buildings provide primary and secondary containment that serve as the foundation to support diverse applications including operations up toBSL-3 and even BSL-3Ag. Our modular units offer a flexible solution for added lab capacity. They are built from superior materials and have a proven track record with years of operation in major research facilities. Our Modular labs are ideal for a range of domestic applications including animal facilities and aerobiology studies.
Germfree designs modular buildings that differ from traditional U.S. based modular construction techniques. We do not use wooden floors/studs or drywall. Germfree uses all metal construction for durability and integrity. Our modular labs are built with monolithic floors, walls and ceilings. There are no seams, cracks or crevices where microbiological growth could occur. All corners are radiused and seamless flooring is coved up the wall for easy cleaning and to insure effective decontamination.

Single section labs are 14’ x 50’ and can be joined together to create larger lab spaces. Whether intended as stand-alone labs or for connection to existing facilities, Germfree’s modular labs include pre-certified and commissioned BSL/HVAC systems to facilitate fast on-site set up and operation.
Modular ABSL-3 and BSL-3Ag Animal Facilities:
Germfree provides ABSL-3 as well as BSL-3Ag Modular Lab Buildings for animal housing and animal laboratory operations (Vivarium). Our standard modular BSL-3 construction methods provide the required sealed laboratory interior. Germfree's modular units are ideal for these applications, as BSL-3Ag requires airtight doors along with numerous other critical components. Our modular labs can be supplied with full structural stainless steel interior walls suitable to house livestock. Germfree also manufactures containerized animal facilities, ideal for international operations.

Modular Labs for Specialty Applications and Severe Environments
Because Germfree's modular biocontainment labs are renowned for the highest level of construction standards, they are also ideal for many other demanding applications. Germfree's engineering capabilities are called upon to provide solutions for designing rugged laboratories for harsh climates or severe environments. These applications include petroleum engineering, chemical engineering/testing labs as well as water testing operations.
Germfree is uniquely qualified to handle all aspects of on-site coordination so that your lab is fully operational within 60 days of delivery.
Modular BSL-3 Buildings
Germfree introduced and launched the first field-tested and proven modular BSL-3 high containment laboratory buildings for the US market. Our BSL-3 modular engineering is touted by authorities as a mature, viable solution with a proven track record.
Aerobiology: Germfree has designed and built modular lab buildings specifically for animal aerobiology studies. Read more about our BSL-3 Aerobiology Laboratories.
