The primary goal of this $17-million project was to construct and commission two large dry rooms in 15 weeks as part of an effort to make more than 2 million COVID-19 test kits per week.
The project aimed to assist Operation Warp Speed, a partnership between the Dept. of Health and Human Services and the Dept. of Defense that sought to rapidly develop a COVID-19 vaccine in response to soaring coronavirus infections in the spring of 2020.
