Background / Purpose Southwest Technical College is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to design, fabricate, and install a training-focused IV Cleanroom suite for use in the Pharmacy Technician Program.

This cleanroom will be used strictly for educational and simulation purposes, not for sterile compounding compliance. Therefore, the design will intentionally exclude certain regulatory systems (e.g., air handling and pressure systems) while maintaining realistic structural layout and workflow.

The goal is to provide students with a hands-on learning environment that closely mirrors a real-world cleanroom in layout and function.

Project Overview The project consists of a modular cleanroom suite, including:

● One Ante Room (gowning area)

● One Buffer Room (cleanroom)

The combined footprint should be approximately:

● 16 feet (length) x 9 feet (width)

● Wall height: 8 feet

The layout should follow a standard workflow from the ante room to the buffer room, with appropriate separation and access.

Scope of Work The selected vendor shall provide all labor, materials, design, and services required to deliver a fully functional cleanroom training suite.

This includes, but is not limited to:

A. Design & Layout

● Provide a complete cleanroom layout including:

○ Ante room and buffer room configuration

○ Door placement and workflow

○ Equipment placement (including hood)

● Submit:

○ Floor plan

○ 3D rendering or visual design

○ Equipment layout

B. Cleanroom Construction

● Modular wall system (approx. 8 ft height)

● Durable, cleanable surfaces suitable for training use

● Clear or semi-clear panels for visibility (preferred)

● Doors with viewing windows

C. Required Features The cleanroom must include:

● Pass-through box/window between the ante room and the buffer room (similar to 24” interlocking passthrough shown in reference design)

● Buffer room space to accommodate:

○ One 6-foot Horizontal Laminar Air Flow Hood

● Ante room features:

○ Space for gowning activities

○ Optional sink or utility area (if proposed)

D. Excluded Systems (IMPORTANT) This project is for training only, and the following must NOT be included:

● No ceiling system

● No HVAC integration

● No air pressure system

● No HEPA filtration or air-cleaning systems

● No ISO classification requirements

E. Installation

● Delivery and on-site installation

● Coordination with the college for scheduling

● Minimal disruption to the existing facility

● Final walkthrough and acceptance
