Active Biosafety Level Laboratory Capital Construction Abounds in North America, an Industrial Info Market Brief

A biosafety level (BSL) laboratory is an enclosed environment in which biocontainment precautions are required to isolate dangerous biological agents. The levels of containment range from the lowest biosafety level 1 (BSL-1) to the highest at level 4 (BSL-4).

With the recent coronavirus epidemic, which would be examined in a BSL-4 laboratory, these type of laboratories are becoming increasingly important.

There are 33 active North American capital construction projects with a total investment value of $4.88 billion that have a BSL laboratory component.
