Ribbon Cutting
Ceremony to Open
New Doors	
A ribbon-cutting ceremony Saturday, September 23, will celebrate
the opening of the new addition to
Lynn Hall. The expansion doubles the
size of the facility, and concludes a
series of improvements to the veterinary medical complex dating back to
the completion of the new Animal
Disease Diagnostic Laboratory in 1991.
A new laboratory animal housing facility was constructed in 1993. The old
farriery was remodeled and expanded
in 1994 to house the new Equine Sports
Medicine Center.
The SVM library is moving into
the 10,000 square foot Biomedical Information Resource Center, which
also will house the School's computer
center. Just across the hall from the
library is the new 200-seat auditorium.
As the new addition is completed
workers will begin renovating areas of
Lynn Hall vacated by the move to the
new facility. The renovations will include improved and expanded space
for diagnostic imaging and small group
teaching laboratories.
All alumni and friends are invited
to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony
at 10a.m., Saturday, September23,1995.

improve the veterinary medical complex, will step down June 30,1996.

Liaison Committee, President-elect
of the Purdue Veterinary Alumni Association, Dr. Jerry Turner, said "you
have done an excellent job of carrying
out your mission. The School has benefited from your leadership."
A search committee has been appointed and is preparing to receive
applications. After stepping down,
Dean Lewis plans to take a one year
