The Galveston National Laboratory (GNL) will be one of the largest high-containment research facilities in the world, for which construction will be completed in June 2008. The GNL will include more than 47,000 square feet of total research space featuring more than 12,000 square feet of BSL-4 laboratory space. The GNL will also have more than 19,000 square feet of BSL-3 space, including an 8,800 square foot enhanced BSL-3 laboratory. The GNL will connect directly with the current select agent facilities in the Keiller Building and Robert E. Shope BSL-4 Laboratory, which has been in operation since July 2004. The GNL is state-of-the-art and will support NIH-directed research and the extensive biodefense and emerging and tropical disease research programs that are established at UTMB.
