The Poultry Science Complex will include labs and support spaces such as BSL2 research labs, walk-in cold rooms, and tissue culture rooms. Additionally, there will also be a variety of classrooms and general spaces such as open study areas, lobby and reception, interactive spaces, collaboration rooms, conference rooms, support spaces, and office space for faculty and staff.
McCarthy has extensive experience in higher education and lab projects across the country for leading colleges and universities. The Poultry Science Complex at the University of Georgia will be the third high-containment laboratory that McCarthy is currently working on in Georgia.
