Built for Breakthroughs: Engineering the Future of Cancer Research

Some projects carry more than just technical requirements. They carry a responsibility. Cancer continues to be one of the world’s most devastating challenges, and the research that fights it demands everything: precision, safety, and an unwavering commitment to progress.

When a leading pharmaceutical API manufacturer set out to build a dedicated Oncology R&D lab, the goal was not just infrastructure. It was to create a space where life-saving breakthroughs could begin. For Kewaunee, contributing to this mission was more than just another project. It was a chance to support the science that gives hope to millions.

The lab needed to protect researchers working with hazardous compounds, maintain the integrity of delicate biological samples, and meet the strictest compliance standards, all while keeping up with the fast pace of discovery. Every decision mattered.

Kewaunee worked closely with the client to design a space that respected the gravity of the work being done within it.

Key installations included:

◾ High Performance Fume Hoods – Providing clean, safe air for chemical handling
◾ Research Collection Cabinets – Improving workflow and reducing response time
◾ Secure Chemical Storage Cabinets – Ensuring safety and compliance at every step
◾ Class II A2 Biosafety Cabinets – Protecting both the people and the science

This lab is now a place where researchers can focus fully on what matters most, pushing the boundaries of cancer treatment without distraction or delay.

At Kewaunee, it has been an honor to contribute to a mission of such significance. In the fight against cancer, every detail counts. Every choice in design and safety plays a role in enabling the breakthroughs that can change lives.
