Laboratory and
Laboratory Support Space for a Pest Quarantine and Containment Research
Facility that will strengthen California’s Agricultural Plant Pest and
Disease Prevention Program. The laboratory functions are grouped
together by biosafety level around a central hub of decontamination.
This BSL3 Laboratory Space consists of Greenhouses, a Plant Growth Room,
Insect Rearing Rooms, Plant Biology, Insectary and Nematology. Support
Spaces include an Equipment Room, Digital Imaging, Tissue Culture Air
Lock and Decontamination Rooms. Specific Research Projects for the
laboratory will include the study and screening of potential natural
enemies of pest species, genetic engineering of organisms that are more
effective antagonists of pests, and the evaluation of organisms and
genetically engineered plants.
