Mississippi State Crime Lab Site Development

The Mississippi Bureau of Buildings, Grounds and Real Property Management selected WGK, Inc. to create the new campus of the State Crime Lab from an undeveloped 43-acre site in Rankin County. WGK designed a totally self-sufficient site from the ground up that includes a 750 GPM water well; 500,000-gallon elevated water storage tank and water distribution system; rehabilitated sewer system; electrical, gas and telecommunication infrastructure; the crime lab facility; and access roads and parking areas. All infrastructure upgrades were tied into other nearby state facilities to improve service. The $4 million project is under construction, with completion expected in 2013.
