The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Homeland Security recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Manhattan, KS.<\/p>\n

The first-in-the-U.S. facility features highest-level biocontainment laboratories and safety protocols for scientists to study and diagnose critical animal diseases.<\/p>\n

The new 48-acre, 700,000-sf campus is near Kansas State University and many animal health companies. The 500,000-sf main building houses animal containment laboratories and holding facilities, office, and facility support space. Specialized safety systems include redundant high efficiency particulate air filter and waste decontamination systems.<\/p>\n

IMEG provided structural<\/a> and security<\/a> engineering for the project, which will replace the 68-year-old Plum Island Animal Disease Center in New York.<\/p>\n
