I worked with O’Brien Atkins to design a state-of-the art facility to consolidate the State Public Health Lab and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) – both of which had been housed in separate cities in aging and inadequate facilities.

Though complementary, the NC DHHS State Public Health Lab and OCME have independent functions. The design has two wings, with the State Public Health Lab in one and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in the other, sharing a connector for administrative functions such as the conference suites and cafeteria, and the main entry lobby.
