Kansas State University will receive a $450 million lab to study livestock diseases and biological threats after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently approved the site.
The National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility will be built in at the Manhattan, Kan., campus to replace an aging lab at Plum Island, N.Y.
The laboratory is to be built on 59 acres at Kansas State near the Biosecurity Research Institute, where similar activities are conducted on plant and animal diseases, according to the Associated Press.
