Address: 4th and School Streets, SW

 

 

Project Description
The Consolidated Forensic Laboratory (CFL) will be a 287,000-square-foot new building consolidating the city’s public safety forensic science and public health efforts into a single world-class, state-of-the-art facility. It will play a vital role in advancing and improving public safety support, homeland security and crime investigation capabilities. 
 
The CFL will offer a reliable facility to law enforcement agencies and provide quality and timely information as well as a broad range of safety and health services to our residents.
