Bio-Cleanroom Design Guidelines should support the process contained within the cleanroom While a rectangular shape is easiest to accommodate, other shapes may be incorporated into the facility as long as appropriate attention is paid to airflow patterns. The facility should be able to accommodate movement of equipment, material and personnel into and out of the cleanroom. The layout of the clean suite should facilitate maintaining cleanliness class, pressure differentials, and temperature/humidity conditions by isolating critical spaces and by excluding non-clean operations.
