Despite the unprecedented challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, union construction crews successfully completed the new $37 million Franklin County Forensic Science Center on schedule and within budget.<\/p>\n

This state-of-the-art facility, located on Frank Road in Columbus, nearly triples the size of the former building, expanding to 56,574 square feet to better serve the growing needs of Franklin County.<\/p>\n

The new building was designed with workflow efficiency in mind. The layout streamlines the movement of cases through admission, diagnostic imaging, autopsy and other specialized areas, significantly improving operational processes.<\/p>\n

A major highlight is the expanded toxicology lab, which offers increased space and advanced bio-secure environments, ensuring greater safety for staff handling potentially hazardous samples.<\/p>\n

Supporting workforce development, the facility features a dedicated observation area with glass partitions, allowing students and observers a close-up view of forensic procedures.<\/p>\n

This educational space underscores Franklin County\u2019s commitment to training the next generation of skilled forensic professionals.<\/p>\n

Affiliated members of the Columbus\/Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council played a leading role in the project\u2019s success, delivering quality craftsmanship and expertise at every stage.<\/p>\n

The project required specialized Infection Control Risk Assessment certification and highly trained members of UA Local 189 expertly installed medical gas lines throughout the facility, meeting the highest standards for safety and reliability.<\/p>\n

City Commissioner Kevin Boyce praised the new Forensic Science Center, noting that its advanced capabilities and talented staff have greatly enhanced the county\u2019s ability to serve the public, surpassing the capacity of the previous 50-year-old building.<\/p>\n

The project not only addresses the rapid growth of Franklin County but also demonstrates the critical role of union labor in building essential community infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The project broke ground in September 2018 and officially opened in May 2020.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
