Jacobs Receives Vaccine Facility Contract

Jacobs Engineering Group has received a contract from Netherlands Vaccine Institute (NVI) to provide conceptual design services for a facility that will be developed in close cooperation with the Dutch government. Rijks Gebouwen Dienst (RGD), a governmental agency, is owner and architect.

The facility is to be operational by the third quarter of 2009 and will be located at the site of the Netherlands Vaccine Institute at Bilthoven, The Netherlands.

The greenfield facility will produce a range of vaccines to treat the population of The Netherlands. Vaccine bulk products will be formulated and filled in vials and syringes at the new sterile production facility. Operations will include freeze drying of vials, inspection, labeling, packaging, and storage. A second part of the building will house a central sterilization department for the complete site.

Jacobs' conceptual design will embed the latest developments in vaccine production to satisfy Dutch regulations and FDA/EMEA requirements, as well as reflect recent benchmarks and a design-to-cost approach.
