- Abstract
- The National Cancer Institute's Emergency Virus Isolation Facility is a laboratory building designed to provide an experimental research environment for all levels of hazardous work related to virus-cancer research. This report represents an attempt to develop a generalizable model for building evaluation through the analysis of the pre-design programming process and the post-construction operation management of the facility.
