Specialized lab planning, provided by LEO A DALY, included extensive forensic labs. Labs for trace evidence and toxicology as well as dirty and wet labs comprising part of the overall forensic suite. A blackout lab, photography / microscopy lab, associated prep and storage spaces completed the new full service space.
