Construction is underway on the planned $1.7-billion public health laboratory that will transform New York’s ability to detect, prevent and respond to emerging public health threats. Construction is being delivered through a Design-Build contract led by the joint venture of Gilbane Building Company and Turner Construction Company, with design partner HOK.
The new 663,000-square-foot, five-story facility will consolidate the Wadsworth Center — the largest and most diverse state public health lab in the United States — under one roof, significantly expanding New York’s ability to support the next generation of scientists and foster collaboration with partners across the country. Full operations will begin by 2030.
The laboratory will house nearly 800 staff and is being designed to adapt to evolving needs over its lifetime, with a strong emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability.
