KBI’s Cell Therapy team partnered with Inventure to renovate its manufacturing facility in The Woodlands, Texas, to support continued growth in drug development and biomanufacturing. The multi-phase project expanded the facility’s capacity by enlarging the Quality Control lab, adding Pharmaceutical Manufacturing suites, and creating new office, conference, and employee support spaces.

The renovation focused on increasing efficiency while meeting the rigorous standards required for FDA and GMP-regulated environments. Infrastructure upgrades included enhanced electrical, plumbing, medical gas, clean air, UPS, and generator systems to help maintain uninterrupted operations during severe weather events. Exterior improvements also introduced a new tank yard, chiller yard, and supporting mechanical systems designed to increase production capacity.

The design balanced technical performance with collaboration and transparency. Open office areas encourage teamwork among researchers, while large viewing windows into the Quality Control lab and manufacturing suites give employees, clients, and visitors insight into KBI’s operations. Custom overhead utility systems provide flexible distribution of power, data, and gases, creating a highly functional environment built to support advanced scientific research and manufacturing.
