Food Safety Pilot Plant (BSL2)

The 2,200 square-foot food safety pilot plant is certified for use with Biosafety Level 2 human pathogens. The space is designed to be versatile, incorporating drop-down utilities and the potential for enclosure. The building has a loading dock with leveler, the BSL2 space has 15' clear high bay space, and can fit equipment as wide as 7'-11". We are seeking partnerships with industry to conduct food safety research projects and evaluate commercial equipment and processes. The facility is designed for challenge and validation studies in a controlled environment.
