Slated for completion in July 2006, the 42,000-sf facility will accommodate space for small animal research, necropsy, a diagnostics laboratory, and an incinerator. UAF received a $3.8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health in late 2005 to enable the project to reach completion. The State Virology Lab, built as a joint effort with the Division of Public Health, will be constructed on the north end of the Biological Research and Diagnostics Facility. The general contractor for the project is Kiewit Construction .
