NCBID Plans New Zealand Biocontainment Lab

Published 7/2/2014

The National Centre for Biosecurity and Infectious Disease (NCBID) will begin construction in early 2015 on a $65 million biocontainment facility in Wallaceville, New Zealand. Designed by Merrick, the project will support advanced diagnostic testing for new and emerging infectious diseases, including zoonotic diseases that can impact human health. The facility will replace the existing animal health laboratory at the site and will meet international biosecurity standards.
