The Space to Do More

The Clinical Sciences Academic Center currently under development will serve the instructional needs of third- and fourth-year veterinary students.

Located on the west side and adjacent to the teaching hospital, the center will house the faculty and staff who currently reside in the hospital’s basement and will feature a multimedia-equipped auditorium with wireless networks to support student notebook computers as well as videoconferencing for courses delivered from distant sites.

The center will also include a 100-seat classroom, 40 offices for faculty and academic support staff and meeting space for conferences and seminars.

A new $3 million equine critical care unit is under development at the Center for Veterinary Health Sciences.

The equine critical care unit, located adjacent to the east side of the teaching hospital, will significantly improve the survival rates of critically ill horses and will enable the veterinary staff to focus on topquality care by bringing the most progressive critical care to all equine patients.

The 4,600-square-foot facility will include two individual critical care stalls, four large mare and foal stalls with dividers, a large padded neuro stall and five neonatal intensive care foal stalls.

The unit will be fully enclosed and climate controlled with video monitoring systems and state-of-the-art intensive care equipment.
