The total lab staff is estimated at 300. A Hot Lab within the main laboratory will be one of only five such facilities in North America.
Construction on the first six-story, 40,000-sf phase, providing lab space for 184 technicians, is expected to be completed in November 2002. The second 10-story, 280,500-sf phase is scheduled for completion in May 2004. Locally based CUH2A is the architect for both phases at the center's Roybal Campus on Clifton Road, five miles east of Downtown.
Hot Lab scientists will study viral and rickettsial diseases, AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, bacterial and mycotic diseases and hospital infections. Also housed in the building will be the government's bioterrorism program. The CDC currently has 11 centers, institutes and offices with about 7,800 employees.
