MEMORANDUM COMM. NO.: 6131.037.08 CLIENT: Boston Scientific PROJECT: Building 9 Sterilization Facility SUBJECT: Land Use Application Narrative MEMO BY: Joe Ford, RSP Architects DATE: May 23, 2017 ATTENTION: Matthew Bachler, Senior Planner, City of Arden Hills COPY: Lorne Rothbauer, Boston Scientific Jeff Hejl, Boston Scientific Boston Scientific Corporation proposes to construct a new sterilization facility on the northeast corner of existing Building 9. BSC’s existing sterilization facility is located in the south portion of Building C and the proposed work represents a relocation and expansion of the existing functions. This work is associated with the overall relocation of operations from Buildings A, B and C to Buildings 7 and 9 that has been underway for the past several years. The purpose of the facility is the sterilization of finished medical products. Products are pre-packaged and staged in the Sterile Pack and Sterile Prep areas. The packaged goods are then placed in a sterilization chamber. The packages have a vapor permeable closure so that when they are placed in the chamber steam or a chemical vapor permeates the package and sterilizes the product. Sterilized goods are then taken elsewhere in Building 9 for final packaging and distribution. The project scope includes approximately 5,325 SF of building addition and 3,400 SF of interior renovation. The proposed addition is a single story reinforced masonry structure with a screen wall around the perimeter of the roof. All mechanical and process equipment located on the roof will be screened from view. The project also includes process equipment on grade, which will be located in a steel framed enclosure finished with insulated metal panels. Exterior finish materials include translucent fiberglass wall panels, synthetic stucco, metal profile panels, and insulated metal panel.
