Project Completion: Cleanroom Changing Area for Allpack Group AG

Unobtrusive, yet essential to life.

At first glance, this room looks rather unremarkable, resembling an ordinary changing room. In reality, however, it serves an important purpose – and indirectly helps save lives.

This so-called cleanroom changing area forms the transition zone between the general operational areas and the cleanrooms, where pharmaceutical and medical products are processed and packaged under strictly controlled hygienic conditions. In a way, this area functions as an airlock, where employees prepare before entering their workplaces. It helps ensure that the high hygiene standards required in medical packaging are maintained.

We had the opportunity to design and realise just such a cleanroom changing area, covering approximately 250 m², for allpack group ag in Reinach. A project that demonstrates how architecture can make an important contribution even in spaces that go largely unnoticed at first glance.
