What to Expect from the Angstrom Cleanroom Process

For many organizations, a cleanroom build can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re new to the process. Even experienced professionals can encounter roadblocks when working with a partner who isn’t transparent, communicative, or aligned with their goals.

That’s why our cleanroom process is designed to be collaborative, expertly managed, and tailored to your needs. Whether you work in aerospace, electronics, or another regulated industry, Angstrom Technology will guide you through every phase—from the first conversation to final commissioning and beyond.

You don’t have to know everything about cleanrooms. You just need a partner who does.

The 5 Steps in the Angstrom Technology Cleanroom Process

Here’s what you can expect when you work with Angstrom.

1. Discovery & Consultation

Purpose: Understand project needs and set the foundation for a successful outcome.

Every successful cleanroom begins with asking the right questions. During this discovery phase, we take time to understand the why behind the project, not just what you need built, but why you need it.

We’ll discuss:

• The purpose of your cleanroom and whether it will be used for early-stage research, testing, manufacturing, or non-commercial applications.
• Relevant industry standards that must be met (e.g., ISO 14644-1, GMP, USP 797/800, FDA)
• Common challenges or pain points you’ve experienced in past projects
• Project location, budget expectations, and estimated timeline

From the start, you’ll have a dedicated team that listens closely, brings relevant experience from your industry, and helps you visualize the full scope of the cleanroom process. Whether you’re building a new facility or retrofitting an existing space, this step ensures we’re aligned on goals before moving forward.

2. Design & Engineering

Purpose: Translate the vision into a custom, compliant, and high-performance design.

Once your goals and requirements are clear, our in-house engineering team begins designing your cleanroom system. Every cleanroom we build is custom—because every space is unique.

And don’t worry if you’re not sure about all the technical details. That’s our job. You bring the vision and we’ll handle the rest.

During this phase, we:

• Develop cleanroom layouts optimized for workflow, safety, and compliance
• Identify whether a modular, hybrid, or traditional stick-built approach is best suited for your goals
• Decide what type of cleanroom wall panels are needed—softwall, rigidwall, or hardwall.
• Design airflow patterns and filtration systems based on your required cleanroom classification
• Plan integration for HVAC, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and utility systems
• Coordinate equipment placement and ensure process-specific functionality

We also build in flexibility for future expansion where possible. Throughout this phase, we host design reviews and milestone check-ins so your team stays involved and confident in the direction.

3. Build & Installation

Purpose: Execute the design efficiently, minimizing disruption.

With an approved design in hand, it’s time to bring your cleanroom to life.

Here’s the best part: you don’t have to worry about a thing. We handle the entire build and installation process and keep you updated every step of the way.

Angstrom’s build process is known for its efficiency, professionalism, and attention to detail. Our team handles every step, including:

• Procuring all required materials and managing delivery logistics
• Preparing your space and coordinating the installation schedule
• Executing modular or stick-built construction based on your needs
• Enforcing strict safety protocols and clean construction practices
• Managing the timeline to keep your project on track

Your dedicated project manager will provide real-time updates, guide you through key milestones, and ensure every detail meets quality standards.

4. Commissioning & Validation

Purpose: Ensure performance, compliance, and hand-off readiness.

Once your cleanroom is built, it must be verified to meet your required standards. That’s where our commissioning and validation phase comes in—an essential step to confirm everything is working as it should.

This process includes:

• System testing and balancing of HVAC, pressure, and airflow
• Particle count testing and environmental monitoring
• Final walkthroughs with your team and documentation review
• Validation and certification support (either through our team or third-party providers)
• Assistance with regulatory audit preparation or compliance reporting

We don’t leave until your cleanroom is operational, compliant, and ready to go. We ensure your internal team understands how to maintain and monitor the system moving forward.

5. Ongoing Service & Support

Purpose: Angstrom is your long-term partner for your cleanroom’s entire lifespan

A cleanroom isn’t a one-and-done investment; it’s a critical part of your operation that requires ongoing care. We offer long-term service options tailored to your facility and industry to protect your investment.

Our maintenance and support services include:

• Routine maintenance and performance checks
• Recertification assistance and regulatory compliance support
• Help with troubleshooting or upgrading filtration and environmental systems
• Modular cleanroom expansion planning as your needs grow
• Fast response times and trusted technical support
