Human Identification and Forensic Laboratories at Chico State
Chico Human Identification Lab | Chico, California
DPR Construction is currently building a new Human Identification Laboratory for Chico State. This 28,600-sq.-ft., progressive design-build facility will serve as the headquarters for search-and-recovery services and support advanced identification work using state-of-the-art equipment. The new facility will allow more communities to be served, quicker response times to urgent cases, and further the important mission of identification and recovery work. The building will house forensic laboratories, archaeology research spaces, departmental offices, a 150-seat auditorium, teaching classrooms and collaborative support spaces.
Project Vision
The lab plays an important role in disaster recovery, helping families to find closure, supporting law enforcement agencies nationwide, and providing dignified care in some of the most difficult circumstances.
The project is scheduled to be completed Summer 2027.
