Studio Varone Architecture worked closely with Tandem Diabetes Care to design their new manufacturing facility located in Sorrento Valley. The existing building was an empty shell. The scope of work included a new Clean Room for insulin pump manufacturing, new transfer rooms, offices, break rooms, conference rooms, lunch room, laboratory spaces, shipping/receiving areas, restrooms, locker rooms, and warehouse storage space.
Special attention was given to the space plan and sequencing of rooms, in order to keep the company's operations running smoothly by ensuring the most efficient movement of materials, parts, people, and finished products. The new facility is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of users, including scientists, technicians, supervisors, project managers, and warehouse workers. Abundant natural light and a soft, natural color palette unify the interior design of the project.
