Executives from McCarthy’s Texas Division, architect HKS and the Southwestern Institute for Forensic Science gathered today for an appreciation luncheon recognizing all of the hard work that has gone in to the Dallas County Institute for Forensic Science. The project, dubbed “CSI-Dallas,” is nearing completion after 22 months of construction.
McCarthy Senior Project Manager Rick Lester thanked attendees who were then invited on an insider’s tour of the new facility to check out the state-of-the-art space. The Dallas County Institute for Forensic Science is a $45 million, 112,000-square-foot project replacing an existing forensic facility and will include a three-story forensics laboratory, a two-story administration area and a one-story autopsy and morgue facility. The forensic facility will combine a family environment for visitors with enhanced security for emergency operations and top-of-the-line teaching and conference capabilities. This is McCarthy’s second project for Dallas County. Construction on the project began in June 2007.
