About

Defra awarded a contract to Baker Hicks Limited for design services related to the refurbishment, reconfiguration, and extension of the B96 Laboratories complex, including buildings B96, B96a, B96b, B96c, B96d, a generator, and small associated structures.

The project supports the continuity of critical business for Pathology, the TSE Reference Laboratory, and the Animal By-Products Reference Laboratory (Feed Testing) at APHA.

It involves relocating Pathology functions from B97 to B96 to enhance team resilience and interoperability, facilitate SCAH enabling works, and enable site logistics re-modelling.

A key constraint is that Pathology science functions must remain in the complex until SCAH Science Hubs are delivered.

The project also provides a replacement for B150, which will be demolished to free space for the new HUB as part of SCAH site re-modelling.

The contract value is AUD 99,508.
