The State of Maryland is constructing the new State Forensic Medical Center at the University of Maryland's BioPark in Baltimore. The 120,000-sf facility will house the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and will adhere to strict biosafety laboratory criteria. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene may occupy the remaining 26,000-sf in the six-story facility. The first level of the facility will accommodate loading and parking. The joint venture of Gaudreau Inc. of Baltimore and McClaren, Wilson & Lawrie of Phoenix  were awarded a $4-million contract by the Department of Public Works to design the facility. The design is slated for completion by March 2008 with construction beginning in June and completion expected 18 to 24 months later.
