MeiraGTx is a company that is committed to the development of novel gene therapies to transform the lives of patients suffering from acquired and inherited disorders.
It’s a world where research and development are forging new treatments and affecting positive results for a host of patients across the globe.
MeiraGTx would task Rochester-based Clean Room Construction Ltd (CRC) to deliver suitable flooring for their inaugural clean room facility in London that could meet the companies’ rigorous standards in cleanliness and bio control.
CRC is one of the UK’s leading specialists in the design and construction of cleanrooms and controlled environments for science and technology.

CRC would specify two products for the new MeiraGTx cleanroom from international flooring specialist Gerflor which would easily meet the project’s stringent requirements.
Ian Isted, Projects Director at CRC commented: “CRC tendered for the MeiraGTx project on a design and build basis with this being its first Cleanroom facility in the UK.
"We specified approximately 1200m2 of Gerflor’s Mipolam Biocontrol using their Mixdim colour, together with the Gerflor Clean Corner System throughout the facility.”
CRC would in turn appoint Brentwood-based 3D Flooring to install the specified products.
Paul Quinn, Director and Co-Owner, 3D Flooring said, “Gerflor’s Mipolam Biocontrol and their Clean Corner System are fantastic products.
"The Clean Corner System is quick to work with and extremely easy to install. The corner details are absolutely spot-on, delivering an excellent result every time.”
