ICF's activities are performed in two different facilities: Clinical / Administrative & Analytical / Statistical.

ICF´s Clinical and Administrative facility is located in an area with more than 2,000 m2 designated for recruitment, clinical care and hospitalization of volunteers; administrative activities and commercial operations. There are medical offices, 56 beds, a pharmacy, drug randomization room with laminar flow and analytical scale, first aid room, laboratory for separation of biological samples, exclusive area for extra collections, 24 hours ICU mobile service, auditorium and the Clinical and Commercial boards.

The in vitro and in vivo laboratories, projects and statistical departments, and ICF´s institutional and technical directors are located and operate in the analytical and statistical facility. Today, ICF has a 1,300 m² area with modern analytical equipment.

Both facilities operate continuously secured by electric generators and by local IT and Quality Assurance departments (responsible for the implementation of procedures and training, independent monitoring of all studies and tests carried out by ICF, execution of internal audits and for suppliers, according to the good clinical requirements and laboratory practice and regulations). Files with smoke detectors and access control to ensure security in the storage of medicines, samples and documents.
