Key Takeaways

In this video, discover how G-CON partnered with NIIMBL on Project Blackhawk, transforming a 50-year-old warehouse into a GMP-like plasmid production facility using prefabricated POD® Cleanrooms. This innovative POD®-based approach integrated all utility systems, allowed renovation and construction to happen in parallel, and drastically accelerated the project timeline. The result: a demonstration of how GMP-capable facilities can be mobile, rapidly deployable, and adaptable even in minimal infrastructure environments. The project was supported with funding from the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the Department of Commerce under 70NANB21H085.
