Process-driven, not facility-driven

You are pioneers trying to do things that have never been done before.   
You need a new facility to host those great inventions.   
The process is at the heart of your daily life so a facility-driven approach misses the point of capturing your discoveries. 

We pioneer in Process-Driven design of development and production facilities targeted to cell and gene therapies and cellular agriculture.   
It allows you to bring ideas out of the lab into people’s lives. Fast.

Business-driven not engineering driven.

Starting from your ideas, over the business case to a fully operational facility.   
We offer help with the business plan, assistance in meetings with investors and create the full-scope design. That’s it.   
Tailored to your decision process, what you need, when you need it

Building on solid organizational experience and technical expertise.

The building is the icing on the cake, not the cake itself.   
Yet, it requires attention too. 
We are a full-scope engineering office as well.  

Next to in-house Project management, Process Architecture and Clean Utilities, we rely on our solid teams for Civil, Structural, Architectural, HVAC, and Electrical - Engineering to shape the final solution around your process.

VILS was tasked by Univercells to design and built a 8000m2 new viral vector and biologicals campus in 2020. While the world went into Covid-lockdown, the integrated teams delivered the full GMP Scope of Operations BSL2-level, R&D support areas and QC labs in a record breaking 18 months from the start of the design until the EMA-inspection. The scope included as well to make 2 existing building shell fit for purpose by adding micro-piles, cutting out trenches, refitting of areas, fitout of cleanrooms until class C including an overhaul of the warehouse capacity.

Mosa Meat

After succesfull VILS Concept Design, BILS was hired by MosaMeat to contract the design and construction of both R&D labs and Pilot Facility. ​ 


Within a timeframe of under 1 year, a full 1000m2 of premises were fitted out with Cleanrooms, Lab space, lab furniture and equipment including all utilities such as Purified Water, gasses etc ​ 
The facilities support MosaMeat in developping the next generation cultured bovine meat of clean quality without the use of animals. ​ 


The pilot facility supports all potential cell culture and treatment steps possible, leaving flexibility in technology to experiment and improve yields further from the lab-scale. ​
