Construction has finished on the world’s largest forensic anthropology lab, designed by SmithGroupJJR

A new 136,497-sf building in Oahu, Hawaii has become the largest forensic anthropology lab in the world. Designed by SmithGroupJJR, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency’s (DPAA) new Forensic Identification Laboratory combines operations that were previously dispersed across three military locations.

By combining these operations into one facility efficiency, productivity, and support of the DPAA mission, which is to “provide the fullest possible accounting for missing personnel to their families and the nation,” are all greatly improved.
