Viridis Laboratories
Straights Facilities Expansion and Renovation
Viridis Laboratories is expanding operations and renovating their current facility. The renovation will allow for increased analytical capabilities, including cannabis and infused food products testing.
Labs and support space within the building would include an analytical lab, material accessioning, inspection, secured storage, homogenization lab, microbiology lab, heavy materials prep, instrument room and heavy metals instrument room.
Because of the sensitive nature of the testing, security in and around the building is of the utmost importance. Visitors will be at a minimum, but guests will be able to view the facility and processes at an tour path and observation deck.
The adaptable building design will provide an inviting and collaborative work environment today and accommodate needs and technology tomorrow. Equally important is creating an environment that instills confidence in future customers from the industry.
HERA created test layouts, environmental design criteria and schematic design scenarios to provide a framework and basis for moving forward with decisions and further design development.
Viridis Laboratories ensures the health and safety within the cannabis industry by testing cannabis products for potency and purity, and reports results of this testing to consumers, manufacturers and regulatory agencies.
