The new crime laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility which meets the needs of the ever-evolving forensic sciences. In addition, the crime laboratory meets a number of other program requirements: it is sustainable, energy efficient, maintains evidence security, addresses contamination concerns for evidence and staff, meets ASCLD accreditation requirements and provides a safe working environment. As technologies and equipment advance, the flexibility of the building’s design will enable it to accommodate those changes in order to serve the residents of the County for decades to come. The new crime laboratory was the first county project to address LEED energy saving goals. It was selected for inclusion in the Justice Facilities Review 2009.
