Cleanroom Construction & Design
Gowning Room Design – Guidelines, Anterooms, and ISO Classification
A gowning room has many variables. There is no mathematical formula when determining the features, surfaces, and HVAC requirements best suited for your application. Space requirements, volume of operators, aseptic workflows, material choice, and even aesthetics all factor into design considerations. Most facilities benefit from contacting a controlled environment specialist who can identify critical product sensitivities, storage requirements, and operational standards.
Cleanrooms for Satellite & Spacecraft Construction
For communication satellites that remain within earth’s orbit, an ISO Class 6-8 cleanroom allows sufficient particle and contaminant control. Cleanroom engineers design each space so that particles from production surfaces are whisked away from critical components. A combination of softwall production areas and hardwall cleanroom facilities provide isolation of critical tasks.
Why is Modular Cleanroom Design A Huge Development?
Pre-engineered fabrication consolidates scheduling with minimal disruption and fewer variables. Difficult or expensive upgrades avoid overbearing noise, construction artifacts, and minimize if not eliminate the burden on facility staff for project management.
Upgrading a USP 797 Cleanroom to USP 800?
New USP guidelines may present challenges for compounding facilities. Some facilities need infrastructural and mechanical modifications for compliance. System evaluation includes duct systems, HEPA fan filters, differential pressure standards, air monitoring, and external air exhaust equipment.

What are the key determinants of cleanroom components? Learn about different types of cleanroom filtration, wall construction, lights, temperature, humidity and more.
Cleanroom Fan Filter Units vs Air Handling Units
A cleanroom air handling unit (AHU) is a cornerstone of temperature, humidity, and pressurization within controlled environments. Today, modular fan filter units allow more adaptable configuration with simplified maintenance procedure. Both systems serve conditioned and filtered air throughout a cleanroom facility.
