Cedar Crest College officially cut the ribbon on its new Joni Berner, Esq. ’75 Expert Witness Training Center and Crime Scene Laboratory during Homecoming Weekend.
Skepton Construction served as general contractor for the state-of-the-art facility, which provides real-world environments for forensic science students, first responders, and legal professionals to strengthen their skills in evidence preservation, crime scene investigation, and courtroom testimony.
The Center includes a mock courtroom, three adaptable crime scene simulation rooms, a science lab, and professional training spaces designed to prepare participants for the complex realities of the justice system.
Skepton Construction values the partnerships that make projects like this possible, building spaces that support education, innovation, and professional development.
Update (11/19/2025): Additional photos of the finished training environments throughout the Expert Witness Training Center and Crime Scene Laboratory have been added to showcase the space.
