Cost: $8.5 million
Completion Date: Spring 2005
Size: 40,000 square feet
The St. Louis Police Department is nearing completion on a new $8.5 million forensic laboratory in downtown St. Louis. The new 40,000- square-foot lab will be equipped to test blood, DNA, drug traces, firearms and other crime scene evidence. The three-story structure will more than double the lab space currently available to the Police Department. The first floor will house parking for ETV vans, as well as a vehicle processing bay.
Lab and support spaces will be located on the second and third floors of the building, which will be connected to the existing police headquarters building next door. The larger lab will also enable the department to adapt to new technologies, including those "still in the imagination," according to Police Chief Joe Mokwa.

Strategically located adjacent to the World Class Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, the facility will be a laboratory/office development, designed to combine functionality with flexibility.
This proposed speculative facility would be up to 180,000 square feet after three phases of building. It would provide much-needed laboratories, services, and equipment for young life sciences and biotech companies that have outgrown incubator space.
HOK's design for the first phase is a three-story, 60,000-square-foot building that features special floor plates with extremely flexible lab and office space. Shared support areas include a multipurpose conference center that can be configured as a boardroom, meeting room, or training room.
The facility is in the center of the life sciences node of the St. Louis "BioBelt." The site is on eight acres next to the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in suburban St. Louis, across from both the Nidus Center for Scientific Enterprise and Monsanto's headquarters.
A construction time-frame has not yet been worked out.
