Katharina Babcock, director of the New Mexico Department of Public Safety Forensic Laboratory spoke to Lab Design News about her experience working on the design of their new facility that was completed last year in Santa Fe, NM.  In her interview, she highlighted aspects of the design that balanced staff wellness with security and preserving chain of custody. Of the overall design she said: "The state’s new Forensic Laboratory improves workflow and interconnectivity of our entire team. But it’s the little things that make this a great place for work and science—and make it a place where we can all stay engaged, safe, and healthy as we serve New Mexico today, tomorrow, and beyond."  Our design partner and subject matter experts were Crime Lab Design. Dekker also received the Excellence in Interior Design award from Lab Design News in 2024 for this project. Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gu5Rzb5S
