ECOTOX POLE Valence, France

Background

The Scientific Center’s ambition is to help developing environmental toxicology and ecotoxicology.

The project uses a Large Scale Facility approach, which makes it possible to carry out tasks that would not be possible at the lab level, mainly because of a too large Space and Time Scale.

Experimental halls:

• Highly safe and secure areas, allowing environmental control and high biosafety levels (space confinement and treatment / decontamination / neutralization of liquid and solid effluents)
• Areas with controlled working conditions and modes, and very limited interaction with the immediate environment (no/ low exposure/ solar effects/ hydrothermal/ biological and chemical pollution)
• Versatile, highly adaptable areas, standardized, ergonomically designed spaces best fitted for experimental devices
• Unmarked areas:
• Spaces organized by scientific discipline: biology, microbiology / bacteriology, chemistry / biochemistry, Molecular biology, radioelements, nanoparticles … laundry, storage
• Spaces technically and functionally fitted for scientific activity

Year of Delivery: 2014
