Project:
Research Animal Diagnostic Laboratory (RADIL) University of Missouri - Columbia

Project Type:
New Construction, Design/Build

Description:
The Science and Research Design Group was selected as part of a design-build team to program, design and construct the Research Animal Diagnostic Laboratory. The Research Animal Diagnostic Laboratory (RADIL) is one of the two largest research animal diagnostic laboratories in the United States and the largest at an academic institution. The RADIL facility provides state-of-the-art diagnostics for research animals, conducts research on laboratory animal infectious diseases, and trains laboratory animal veterinarians and research scientists. Research interests of RADIL facility investigators focus on microbial pathogenesis, characterization of emerging pathogens, development of novel diagnostic techniques, and development of animal models of infectious diseases. RADIL’s unique services (offered on a fee basis) have provided a regular income, and offer many opportunities to spin-off and commercialize new technologies.
