Aberdeen Scientific Services Laboratory (ASSL), which is operated by Aberdeen City Council, is to relocate from Old Aberdeen to the James Hutton Institute's Craigiebuckler site.
The move is expected to consolidate the city's position as a scientific powerhouse in food safety and security, land use and environmental management.
A £350,000 redesign to create specialised microbiology, chemistry and instrument laboratories is due to be completed this month ahead of the transfer in April.
