New operational-based animal research facility plans (for new buildings as well as old space) are being built around five key objectives:
- Cost-effective growth of animal program capacity,
- Highly efficient operations,
- Lower operating costs,
- Safe, economical, biocontainment with animal operations, and
- Long-term flexibility for future program changes
Attend this conference to learn how these goals are being achieved with limited capital budgets, innovative logistics and space plans, leading-edge facility concepts, and strategic investments in equipment. Specifically, you’ll learn the new design, construction, and facility operating details for multi-species adaptability, flexible barriers, open-plan animal holding, shared resources models, advanced imaging space plans, ABSL2/3 and BSL2/3-Ag operations, more efficient HVAC solutions, and animal program masterplans.
Bring your team – users, project managers, capital planners, and the people who will be running and maintaining these facilities. The facility and operating concepts you’ll get here will be critical to the success of your institution’s research mission.
This conference is for Directors of Comparative Medicine, Research Veterinarians, Capital Project Teams, Project Managers, Engineering Managers, Animal Facility Operations Managers, Space Planners, Animal Facility & Vivarium Managers, Animal Resource Managers, Biosafety Officers, and Research Program Directors who are planning new management initiatives or animal facility construction programs for their institutions.
