1. A sterilization cabinet, comprising: a roof, a lateral wall, and a floor collectively forming a body of the sterilization cabinet partially enclosing an interior space, wherein the interior space of the sterilization cabinet is accessible through an access port defined by proximal edges of the roof, the lateral wall, and the floor; a door connected to the body of the sterilization cabinet, the door transitional between an open and a closed configurations, wherein in the closed configuration, the door encloses the interior space of the sterilization cabinet by occluding the access port and forming a first fluid-impermeable seal therewith; a first vent port disposed within the lateral wall or the door of the sterilization cabinet; a cover plate disposed over the first vent port, wherein the cover plate occludes the first vent port and forms a second fluid-impermeable seal with the body of the sterilization cabinet, the cover plate having an aperture at least partially coinciding with the first vent port thereby permitting sterilization agent flow therethrough; a first filter occluding an area at which the first vent port and the aperture of the cover plate coincide, the first filter disposed in a sandwiched relationship between the body of the sterilization cabinet and the cover plate; a drain assembly having a drain port disposed within the floor, wherein the floor has a slope configured to cause a liquid contained within the interior space of the sterilization cabinet to flow into the drain port, wherein the drain port is an only outlet for the liquid within the floor; and a second filter sealingly enclosed within the drain assembly, wherein fluid is constrained to pass through the second filter to enter or exit the interior space of the sterilization cabinet through the drain port; whereby when the door is in the closed configuration, all sterilization agent flow between interior space of the sterilization cabinet and an external environment must pass through the first filter, the second filter, or both.
