Infectious Disease Laboratory - Building 17, Atlanta, GA
The Infectious Disease Laboratory-Building 17 in Atlanta, Georgia is a 269,000 gsf laboratory facility, designed in two phases. This facility consists of BSL 2, 3 and 3+ laboratories, support and office space. This facility accommodates four laboratory divisions for the National Center for Infectious Diseases. The facility has been designed as a generic laboratory facility with five typical laboratory floors. Each typical floor consists of thirty laboratory modules and fifteen laboratory support modules as well as office and workstation space. Support spaces are accessible directly from laboratories on one side and from a linear equipment room on the other. Sterilization and decontamination for each biosafety level is available at appropriate locations on the floors. Designing the project in this fashion enabled NCID to delay occupancy assignments until quite late in the design process. A particular challenge of this project is to design laboratories which may be used for BSL2 work initially but with the flexibility to be converted to BSL3 in the future.
