Technical Bulletins

Technical Bulletins

Once a month DTR publishes a Technical Bulletin article of interest to NIH architects, engineers, biosafety professionals, facility managers and operations and maintenance staff. The articles are emailed to ORF staff, available in hard copy on a display stand on the second floor elevator lobby of Building 13, and posted on the DTR website.

The purpose of DTR Technical Bulletin articles is to raise technical awareness regarding state-of-the-art innovation in designing highly complex biomedical facilities and hospitals. These articles are concise one page presentations of news and innovative ideas in the areas of flexible design, safety and health of the occupants, security, and protection of the environment. Each article provides references for further reading and additional topic detail.

We hope that you will find the 'DTR Technical Bulletin' helpful in achieving the best and safest biomedical research facilities possible.
