Southwest Foundation for Bio-Medical Research Virology & Immunology Laboratory Complex
San Antonio, Texas

This 35,000 sf, single-story bio-medical research laboratory complex ranks in the top facilities capable of studying emerging and deadly infectious diseases. The complex includes a Bio-safety Level 4 (BSL-4) containment lab which is the fourth of its kind in the United States. BSL-4 is the only type of facility permitted to study viruses and other infectious agents that are deadly to humans and for which no vaccines or treatments exist. BSL-4 containment systems include high temperature waste decontamination, chemical shower, containment suits served by central breathing air apparatus, room pressure control, and HEPA filtered exhaust systems.

Goetting & Associates performed mechanical, electrical and plumbing commissioning for the BSL-3 and BSL-4 laboratories. Pre-functional performance commissioning was performed during the construction phase of the project. Functional performance commissioning began at project completion.

The project involved coordinating with representatives of the National Institute of Health for compliance with NIH grant policy. Design reviews were also conducted in collaboration with representatives of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.
