Infectious diseases continue their negative impact on people worldwide. Passion for science and solutions has been central to our designs for High Containment BSL-4 lab over the last 30 years. In 2002 the WSP team was selected to design the Rocky Mountain Laboratories Integrated Research Facility under a United States government procurement of “Urgent and Compelling Need”, highlighting the essential nature of these facilities. The principles of science and health protection have been central to WSP’s design of BSL-4 facilities for the Centers for Disease Control and Protection, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense in every region of the U.S. demonstrating the national impact our work has had. WSP’s expertise has gained international recognition as evidenced by our continued leadership in the field and the design of these unique facilities in countries such as Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Saudi Arabia and India.
