Kansas State University (KSU) is known for its major advancements in science and technology. For example, it is home to the Biosecurity Research Institute (BRI), a secure laboratory where the study of high-consequence pathogens can be studied in complete safety. It is designed for biosafety level 3 research, with space available for selected commercial projects by application.

The construction of the BRI in 2006 was a definite asset in the selection of Kansas State University-Manhattan as the future site of the $720,000,000 National Bio and AgroDefense Facility.  The NBAF site selection was announced in January 2009, and construction is underway.  With completion scheduled for 2016 and certification by 2018, the NBAF will offer more than a half-million square feet of BL-4 research space for senior scientists dedicated to the biosecurity of our nation’s food supply and animal health.

With many government and defense contractors working and living in the area, the Flint Hills Regional Council plays an important role in coordinating, communicating and providing leadership and technical support to all government and civic sectors.
