Project
Alaska State Public Health Virology Laboratory
This laboratory and administrative office facility was designed to support advanced biological research while maintaining strict environmental and safety controls. It includes Biological Safety Level (BSL) 2 and BSL-3 suites, with space reserved for future BSL-3 and Animal BSL-3 expansions. AMC’s exclusive “pressure mapping” design strategy ensured precise differential pressure control to prevent airborne contamination. Designed for future expansion, the facility allows for “plug and play” additions of new central HVAC equipment with minimal disruption. Built to meet ASHRAE laboratory standards, it set a high benchmark for safety, energy efficiency, and adaptability in biological research environments.
