A/Z oversaw the expansion and renovation of the State of CT Department of Public Safety’s Forensic Science Laboratory in Meriden, CT.  Approximately half of the 30,000 square foot building addition is dedicated to open and hard wall office space, conference rooms, and meeting areas. The addition also accommodates a central evidence receiving area and a computer crime center. Additionally, the construction of toxicology and controlled substance laboratories allow scientists to precisely identify chemicals through the use of high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry equipment. This expansion created additional space for the future installation of trace DNA and imaging laboratories.
