The new Yerkes primate research facility at Emory University consists of a new 5-story, 91,256 SF research laboratory building which houses vivarium spaces for several species, cage washing, laboratories (both wet and electronic), testing, administrative and support spaces. The project achieved a LEED silver certification.
All of the labs are air conditioned and achieve pressurization control through the use of manifolded variable volume supply and exhaust systems using Phoenix air valves. Labs contain a mixture of biosafety cabinets and fume hoods.
