The University of Nevada, Reno is constructing a $75 million facility to expand capacity for the Nevada State Public Health Laboratory (a branch of the School of Public Health). Designed by Van Woert Bigotti, the 55,000-sf building will offer flexible laboratories, dedicated research and screening environments, and specialized containment areas including a BSL-3 lab. A new toxicology program will focus on substance abuse issues. Sophisticated conference rooms will be accompanied by collaboration spaces and staff offices.
Playing a vital role in safeguarding communities throughout the state, the multistory structure will provide a wide range of services such as detection and prevention of infectious diseases, coordination of emergency response initiatives, and newborn screening. Leveraging advanced technologies to optimize the speed of testing operations, the development will more than triple the lab’s current footprint, driving research discoveries and enhancing connectivity between academic, healthcare, and government partners.
Gilbane is the general contractor for the project, which began construction in summer of 2024. Occupancy is anticipated in fall of 2026.
