United States of America BSL-4 hospital facilities as of 2009
The U.S. maintains at least eight Biosafety Level 4 facilities, and is currently planning at least seven more:
Operational Facilities:
USAMRIID in Fort Detrick, MD (”old building”)
CDC in Atlanta, GA (two buildings operational)
NIH’s BSL-4 lab on the NIH Campus in Bethesda, MD (sometimes operates at BSL-3), never operated as a “hot” BSL4
NIH’s BSL-4 lab at the Twinbrook III building, Rockville, MD (sometimes operates at BSL-3)
Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research in San Antonio, TX
UTMB’s Shope Laboratory in Galveston, TX Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA (smaller “glovebox” facility)
The Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services lab (part of the Department of General Services of the Commonwealth of Virginia) in Richmond, VA (so-called “surge” BSL-4 capacity)
Facilities Under Construction and Planned (as of 2009):
USAMRIID in Fort Detrick, MD (”new building”, in design)
Boston University’s National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory (NEIDL) in Boston, MA (under construction)
UTMB’s National Biocontainment Facility in Galveston, TX (under construction)
DHS’s National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) in Fort Detrick, MD (under construction)
DHS’s National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF), shortlisted July 2007; final site selection mid to late 2008
NIAID’s Integrated Research Facility in Fort Detrick, MD (in construction- earliest operational date 2009)
NIAID’s Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, MT (in construction - earliest operational date 2009)
I am not sure how many of these facilities are operational now, the list is (obviously) old.
UTMB is on Galveston Island which could be quarantined if need be and the natives didn’t raise much of a ruckus. San Antonio, no way. What’s the skinny on the others?
