Construction has started on a new public health and environmental science laboratory at the State Secondary Complex in Dimondale, Michigan, US.

This facility will serve as a consolidated space for the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), and the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity.

The 300,000ft虏 laboratory is designed to enhance testing capabilities and foster a secure, efficient, and innovative working environment.聽聽
