Alcon, Novartis’ ophthalmic division, offers a wide range of surgical, pharmaceutical, and vision care products to treat various eye diseases and conditions. The Puurs manufacturing site plays a role in the global supply of eye care services and products.
Alcon retained international building project delivery company PM Group to provide project management, architecture, HVAC and utilities design for this expansion, which was realised in two phases.
Phase One involved development of a new 1,000 m2 chemical lab on the ground floor and an 850 m2 microbiology lab on the first floor.
The second phase involved the conversion of an existing 400 m2 microbiology lab into a chemical lab and connecting it to the new extension.
