If my own experience* is anything to go by, the Architect will be totally clueless about the requirements of Biomedical Engineering.
But have you seen what they are proposing yet?
What I would suggest is that you draw up your own requirements on a 1:50 scale drawing, and then insist on meetings with all concerned, at an early stage. Then stick to your guns.
If you lose control of the project then there's every chance that you'll end up being, shall we say, disappointed. More than that, at some stage great expense will be incurred in "putting things right" - things that should have been right from the beginning!
Good Luck!
