Eli Lilly K362 Biotech Development Laboratory Tour Presentation
Christopher Harp, Flad Architects
Carl Stumpf, Affiliated Engineers, Inc.
Jason Tharp, Eli Lilly and Company
In this presentation, the architect, the engineer, and a Lilly representative will give a one-hour overview of the Lilly K362 Biotech Development Laboratory Project. This presentation will include project team, project site and master planning, project need and program, and project schedule and costs. This presentation will provide an overview of the design process and planning concepts, and will show how design mock-ups played a key role in the success of this project. Although this project was not certified as a LEED® project, the presenters will provide information on some of the sustainable design practices that were implemented.
The K362 Building contains three large air supply systems that are each fed by two air handling units. The distribution of the variable volume air system is designed so that air flow control devices are located in the support corridors between the laboratories. The support corridors do not have ceilings so that maintenance access is optimized. The pipe racks are also installed in the service corridors. The building contains multiple scale fermentation reactors up to 100 liter reactors that are fed by the utility pipe rack. A portion of the facility contains an Aircuity system.
Following this presentation, those who have singed up in advance, will depart for a tour of the Lilly K362 Building.

As a senior associate, Mr. Harp also provides management and business development assistance for Flad's science and technology division. As Flad's primary relationship manager, Mr. Harp has worked on numerous projects nationally and internationally with Eli Lilly. Some of these projects include: Building 362 Biotech Development Laboratory Building, Building 77 East Addition and Renovation, Building 77 South Addition and Renovation, Building 104 Pharma Administration and Laboratory Building, Building 82 Corporate Standards Laboratory Renovation, Building 146 Indiana Bulk Operations Laboratory Building (IBO), QC/Tech Service Laboratory and Office Building in Ireland, QC Lab and Office Building in France, QC Lab and Office Building in Italy, and QC/Tech Service Lab and Office Building in Puerto Rico.
Mr. Harp has a Bachelor of architectural science degree from the University of Illinois and a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. He is a member of the American Institute of Architects and the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers. Mr. Harp is also very active in his local chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
Carl Stumpf has been leading the design of mechanical and electrical systems for technically complex facilities for more than 40 years. For the last 20 years, his primary focus has been pharmaceutical research laboratories, pilot plants, and manufacturing facilities. Mr. Stumpf's experience includes leading the design of HVAC systems, water for injection systems, standby power systems, building automation systems, and other mechanical and electrical facility systems to meet clients' needs. Many of his projects include the surveying, planning, and designing of phased renovation without loss of facility use during construction, with special attention given to the impact of phasing a central system's design. Mr. Stumpf was the project manager for the design of the mechanical and electrical systems for the Lilly K362 Biotech Developmet Laboratory.
Mr. Stumpf has a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Wisconsin and has been a registered professional engineer since 1972. He is a member of ASHRAE and the International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers
Jason Tharp is a group leader for the facilities/utilities/maintenance/ engineering (FUME) group that supports the Lilly K362 Biotech Research and Development Facility. He has worked within Lilly's Bioproduct Research and Development organization for more than eight years. Mr. Tharp has worked in GMP Analytical testing laboratories, has provided qualification and validation support for compliance with internal and external regulations, and has partnered with user groups in order to assist with design and move aspects related to the K362 building project. Mr. Tharp and his group directed and participated in collecting user requirements for the facility and communicating those requirements back to the design and engineering personnel involved in the building project. Additionally, a great deal of oversight and support for the move project was provided by the FUME group. Mr. Tharp and his group are currently involved in supporting myriad aspects of the overall function of the facility. The FUME group partners with development facility services, information technology (IT), laboratory personnel, and other groups to provide process support for capital purchasing, equipment inventory management, engineering system ownership/support/maintenance, qualification and validation oversight/performance, IT and process automation integration, and other facility support functions. Mr. Tharp has a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology, with a concentration in chemistry, from Indiana University.
