ND State Laboratory

Benefits of a New State Laboratory

• The new state-of-the-art laboratory will preserve and advance the state's ability to protect North Dakota's public health and environment for future generations.
• It will be scalable, designed to be flexible to meet immediate demands, adjust for growth opportunities and quickly pivot for public health and environmental emergencies.
• Modern mechanical equipment will ensure superior air quality and quantity, which are critical for a quality testing environment. The facility will also include a training lab for continuous learning and safety training.

"We're excited to embark on this transformative and historic project, which underscores our commitment to ensuring the health and safety of all North Dakotans. The new State Laboratory will allow for safer and more efficient workflow while also enhancing our capabilities to respond effectively to emerging public health challenges and environmental threats."
