Case Solved
What is that new building? I had been threatening to exit Highway 87 and investigate the new building going up on the corner of West Hedding Street for the last few weeks.
After parking on the Guadalupe Parkway frontage road, I questioned the first person I encountered. A Sheriff buying lunch from a food coach told me that he thought it was a lab. With my camera in hand I walked up to the construction site asking a fellow in a blue hard hat, “Is this the new forensic lab?” He proudly said, “Yes, it will be the Santa Clara County Crime Laboratory.”
The close proximity to the Main Jail seems the perfect spot for this state-of-the-art metal building with room for a 75-foot long test firing range. This new facility includes a DNA laboratory and equipment for other tests, as well as office space. Question answered - case solved.
