Building a biocontainment laboratory—whether BSL-3, ABSL-3 or ACL-3, is a highly specialized process that requires careful planning and coordination. When design decisions are made without early input from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), critical issues often surface late in the project, leading to costly changes and delays. Below are examples of common challenges identified during design […]
