The Life Sciences Public Health Laboratory project consolidates five existing facilities throughout the Capital District of New York into one new building on the Governor W. Averell Harriman State Office Building Campus in Albany, New York. This new facility will be home to NYS Department of Health’s Wadsworth Center, which includes the Division of Environmental Health Sciences, Division of Genetics, Division of Infectious Diseases, and Division of Lab Quality Certification. In addition to the laboratory space needed for the advancement of the Department of Health’s mission, the building will include a central utility plant, a shipping, storage, and material handling facility, and administrative offices. Construction has started and the project is expected to be completed in 2030. Interstate Drywall Corp. was recently awarded the exterior backup wall framing and sheathing package.
