Abstract
Currently, Nagasaki University is constructing a BSL- 4 facility, which is scheduled to be completed this summer. This paper introduces the installation location of the facility, the outline of the building, the configuration of the BSL- 4 laboratory, its ancillary equipment, and how to use it. In addition, we will explain WHO and Japanese regulations related to BSL- 4 facilities, and explain matters such as earthquake resistance and airtightness that Nagasaki University has made important in facility design. Then, we summarize the future measures for the actual operation of the suit-type BSL- 4 facility of Nagasaki University, which is the first in Japan.
