Baltimore, Md. – On Thursday, May 23, The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh officially opened the Medical Research Council’s (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) – a building for which RMF Engineering was hired to provide engineering services in 2005 – in Cambridge, England. Members of RMF’s Team including Duane Pinnix, PE, CCP, the company’s president and CEO, attended the opening of the new facility, which is located on the expanding Cambridge Biomedical Campus adjacent to the London-Cambridge railway line.
The goal of the MRC and the LMB is to remain a world-class research establishment and to further develop their distinguished history of discovery and invention. LMB’s mission is to drive scientific innovation throughout the next century.
The project incorporates several state-of-the-art energy enhancements, some of which are mandated by governmental regulation. Some primary features include:
Over the years, the LMB project has been widely discussed in the engineering industry. At the conclusion of the project in 2012, Pinnix presented a case study at I2SL’s Labs 21 Conference, detailing the design of the facility and its innovative enhancements resulting in an impressive annual carbon savings of 1,766 tons.
