Faculty

Michael G. Mount, BA SmithGroup, Incorporated 455 North Third Street, Suite 250 Phoenix, AZ 85004

This eight hour workshop was first presented in 2003 to the European Academy of Forensic Sciences in Istanbul. The first half of the workshop covers the entire project development process for a forensic laboratory from establishing the need, design programming, and the facility design process. Critical design issues are addressed, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, security, safety, and site requirements.

The second half of the workshop addresses the specific architectural and engineering design requirements for each of the major laboratory sections within the forensic laboratory. The presenter has been designing forensic facilities throughout the United States and abroad since 1983.
