Lygos 25821 Industrial Blvd., Hayward Tenant Improvement

MAI was retained by Lygos to build their new 54,000 SF headquarters in Hayward, CA. The project began with extensive pre-construction, planning, and design phase resulting in a fully coordinated BIM design. Construction included converting an existing shell space into 15,000 SF of office space, 35,000 SF of lab space, and a 4,000 SF mechanical yard. Due to the buildings structural constraints a new 5,400 SF above roof equipment platform was required to house all of the new HVAC equipment.

The office area features open-concept and private offices, a lobby, boardroom, breakroom, conference rooms, and restrooms. Lab spaces include analytical, strain engineering, fermentation, downstream processing, glasswash, utility rooms, and a pilot plant area. MAI managed the procurement and installation of the new bioreactors, tanks, and support equipment.

The 4,000 SF mechanical yard will house all of the process equipment, including a new purified
water distribution skid, a new waste neutralization system for lab and aqueous waste, new
CDA equipment, new plant steam and clean steam boiler systems, a new refrigerated glycol
skid, and new custom tanks for LN2, NH4OH, and DE-95.
