About this file
This is an architectural and facilities description document for the Jefferson Laboratory Campus, part of the National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) under the FDA. The document provides detailed specifications for 40+ buildings and structures across the facility, including square footage, floor counts, construction materials, mechanical systems, electrical infrastructure, plumbing, fire protection, and special equipment. Key facilities include Building 2 (chiller and generator plant with 1,500-ton and 250-ton chillers and diesel backup generators), Building 5 complex (39,800-76,550 SF each) housing animal research facilities with HEPA-filtered 100% outside air systems and critical environmental controls maintaining 77°F ±3°F temperatures and 40-60% relative humidity, Building 7 (16,500 SF central steam plant with three fire-tube boilers rated at 25,875 lbs/hour at 150 PSI), and Building 11 (water treatment plant with deep wells, clarifiers, and 950,000-gallon elevated storage). Building 54 serves as the main control center with Siemens Apogee DDC building automation systems monitoring HVAC, electrical, and fire protection systems across campus.
The facilities employ district cooling systems with multiple chillers, steam heating from the central plant, backup diesel generators totaling several megawatts capacity, emergency electrical systems with automatic transfer switches, and integrated fire alarm and life safety systems being upgraded as part of Mass Notification System projects. Critical environmental conditions are identified and monitored in animal research spaces requiring AAALAS compliance, with specialized equipment including sterilizers, washers, cage systems, fume hoods, and laboratory support infrastructure. The document indicates some systems are in poor operating condition or inoperative and lists maintenance requirements tied to COTR approval. The facility was originally constructed in 1952 with significant renovations occurring in 1999, 2005, 2012, 2013, and ongoing through 2026, demonstrating continuous infrastructure modernization.
