About Us

Forensic Facilities Specialists

Forensic science requires unique facilities that house several different kinds of specialized spaces under one roof. These facilities must meet scientifically demanding environments, yet retain the best staff and manage public access. Accordingly, it is critical to the success of your forensic laboratory or medical examiner project that the design team has specialized knowledge and experience in the functional elements of forensic facilities.

Crime Lab Design provides the forensic science community with integrated architectural, engineering, and lab planning services for the development of modern forensic facilities. We are well-versed in the specialized considerations and unique challenges of forensic science facilities, including changing technologies/methodologies; evidence intake, assessing and storage; proper ventilation and odor control; ASCLD/LAB, NAME and ISO 17025 criteria; security; and health & safety.

Build Lasting Relationships

“I have had the pleasure of working with Crime Lab Design on two projects. On both projects, CLD was engaged and sensitive to our needs and concerns. They understood our vision, offered great ideas and made suggestions that were meaningful and helpful. CLD was always available for us and a true partner in both projects.”

“CLD’s expertise is evident from the start of programming through all aspects of the design process. CLD’s ability to listen carefully and respond to specific lab needs and concerns provides a foundation of trust with clients and end-users. This trust has proved extremely beneficial to the project team as we move through design, construction, start-up, and Owner move-in.”

Lessons Learned.

“Based on my 40 years in the forensic science community, having built three buildings in three states, I can unequivocally recommend Crime Lab Design be involved in this lengthy process. Their experience in forensic labs and keen attention to specific forensic needs such as chain-of-custody and safety in the autopsy suite, they are uniquely qualified to assist in all of these important matters.”

Optimize Productivity.

“CLD consistently demonstrated their dedication to quality while balancing the perspectives of client groups, including the forensic science users and government oversight agencies.

Plan for the Future.

“Crime Lab Design demonstrated a thorough understanding of our program, schedule, and budget requirements. While I have worked with other laboratory design firms, I found the CLD team to be especially knowledgeable. I never had the feeling that I was left alone on the project. They always responded quickly to questions and their ideas were innovative and helpful.”
