Johnson Controls to make technology work
for crime lab
The crime lab in Denver, Colo. bears little resemblance to the shiny, glass-encased rooms portrayed in the popular crime scene investigation shows on television. In contrast, Denver investigators work in converted closets across two floors of a building with poor connectivity and information exchange. This will change when the region’s new 60,000-square-foot crime lab opens in mid-2012. Johnson Controls Building Efficiency will play an important role in the development of the new facility through its Technology Contracting™ service, serving as general contractor for the facility’s low-voltage technology systems.
These include fire, security, audio/video, lab controls and freezer/refrigerator monitoring systems. Johnson Controls will install its Metasys® building management system and York air handling units.
Although the crime lab is not a typical project for the Technology Contracting team, it was able to apply similar technology and methods from other projects, according to Krista Kritenbrink, account executive for Johnson Controls Building Efficiency.
“We started drawing parallels to what we do in the pharmaceutical and medical industries,” Kritenbrink said. “The lab space is very similar. For example, reporting must be accurate and timely. Anything less could jeopardize an investigation and trial if there was any question about evidence handling or storage.”
The crime lab will include forensic labs for fingerprint analysis, ballistics and imaging; training facilities; and a garage for evidence collection. The facility will feature enhanced security/remote monitoring and will have flexibility for future expansion. The crime lab is a project for the city and county of Denver.
