One of the world’s largest healthcare companies, Merck’s product testing for its extensive Consumer Care Products line had taken place at an aging research center in Memphis. ANF was tasked with transforming this dated facility into a contemporary scientific lab that would be inviting, efficient and employ state of the art technology.

Merck needed this new research facility to comply with current testing regulations allowing the company to bring testing in-house and avoid outsourcing them. This meant designing a facility where multiple testing procedures could occur concurrently in adjacent areas with specific technical requirements. Lighting and HVAC systems were particularly important to insure reliable test results.
