BSL3 Biocontainment Facility consists of two large laboratories each with 3 work spaces built around biosafety cabinets. Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) agents are those requiring containment of airborne bacteria, viruses, or toxins, therefore the design and administration of the BSL3 Biocontainment Facility follows strict federal regulations with local oversight provided by the NCSU Institutional Biosafety Committee. These and other factors assure the community that infectious disease research will not result in occupational hazards for the occupants of the research building. The BSL3 Biocontainment Facility is available for use by the NCSU community.
