Purdue University Veterinary Medical Summer 1992 pg- • pr™:™-rr: EAST ELEVATION Breaking New Ground in Veterinary IVIedicine: Construction of Addition to Begin in Spring! Groundbreaking for a new addition to Lynn Hall is planned for spring 1993, following the State Budget Committee's approval of the 33.4 million dollar project last May. The committee's vote gave the final green light for the long-awaited School of Veterinary Medicine expansion. Purdue administrators have placed the project on a very fast track in an effort to take advantage of favorable economic conditions, according to Tom Schmenk, director of Facilities Planning. Plans call for completion of the addition in July 1995. The addition will rise as high as three stories above ground, providing more than 60,000 square feet of new assignable space. Of that, 23,000 square feet will house academic facilities, including new classrooms and teaching laboratories, a 200-seat multi-media lecture hall, and a new Biomedical Informa tion Resource Center which will replace the existing library. The expansion also will provide space for modern molecular biology and cell biology laboratories as well as other facilities necessary for scientific investigations. Incompliance with new federal law, the facility will be fully accessible to the handicapped. The Veterinary Teaching Hospital, will expand by 24,000 square feet, providing more space for diagnostic imaging and clinical pathology areas. The large animal facilities will include an equine center to serve the state's expanding horse industry; expanded and modernized surgery facilities; a new theriogenology (reproduction) unit that will help producers increase reproductive efficiency; and an expanded livestock production medicine unit. The expanded Small Animal Hospital will house new exam and treatment rooms, an updated surgery unit, and an expanded critical care facility. In the existing facility, 13,000 square feet will be renovated to house a center forclinical investigations, an educational research laboratory for development of new teaching materials and technologies, and offices. Plans call for the renovation to be completed in Spring 1996. Purdue President Steven C. Beering credits many agricultural leaders and veterinarians throughout Indiana with playing a significant role in the process of winning state approval for the project. Dean Hugh B. Lewis says, "We are grateful for the confidence that the State Legislature and the people of Indiana have shown in us. This addition to our facilities will enable us to continue to graduate excellent veterinarians and to provide state-of-the-art veterinary support services well into the next century." - by Kevin Doerr Purdue News Service also contributed to this story.
