CSU Veterinary Diagnostics Laboratory

Value

$6.6M

Location

Wagga Wagga, NSW

The Veterinary Diagnostics Laboratory at CSU’s Wagga Wagga Campus comprises an animal holding yard, necropsy laboratory and teaching rooms, a necropsy cold room and PC3 and PC2 physical containment laboratories.

Works involved demolition of the existing diagnostics facility and construction of a new two-level building, with plant and equipment housed on the upper level. The structure features concrete floor slabs, angular structural steel framing and a combination of architectural steel and timber cladding.

Specialist inclusions comprise a dedicated necropsy (animal autopsy) table and an overhead gantry crane designed for handling large animal carcasses. A high level of precision was required throughout construction, particularly within the physical containment laboratories where genetically modified organisms are handled.
