The program also includes an animal-related facility with holding facilities for up to six distinct space colony types, a containment/barrier colony and procedure rooms. A 5,000-sf core instrument lab includes the school's molecular modeling group along with major analytical equipment. The technology supports the extensive audio, video, and data systems intended for both in-house and broadcast/narrowcast use. These components help students in the University's Doctor of Pharmacy degree program.

About the Reported Cost Figures The cost figures reported are supplied by the firms that submitted these projects for publication, which in most cases are the designers or builders. Whereas these sources are intimately familiar with their projects, they may not be fully aware of the owners' finally-realized and recorded costs. In some cases, costs are truly and completely accounted for, and in others they represent a near approximation of the final costs. Costs have not been adjusted for year of construction, nor has any attempt been made to make regional cost adjustments. Further, costs are not comparable on any kind of detailed standard costing model. Hence, it is possible for the cost of one building to include a steam boiler, while the cost of a comparable building might not include the boiler, if steam is being supplied from an already existing campus grid. Or, in another case, a building might include excess boiler capacity to supply steam to another building. Some submittals include fees or unusual site improvements as part of the construction costs, which others do not.
