President Jischke informed the Committee that the School of Veterinary Medicine has a problem with salmonella contamination of the large animal holding facilities. They currently have the use of only one stall, which is hardly adequate for a school of veterinary medicine of Purdue's stature and importance. There is grave concern about the impact and ability of the School of Veterinary Medicine to do research and education work as well as serve horses, the cattle industry, etc. This is a very important issue for the School of Veterinary Medicine and for the University.
Treasurer Burns stated that the Large Animal Hospital has only one USDA approved isolation stall. This project will provide space to house client owned animals (equine and bovine) that are suspected of having infectious diseases. Several isolations rooms, each with independent once-through airflow and HEPA filtered exhaust, will be provided and will house one animal per room.
Upon proper motion duly seconded, the Executive Committee unanimously adopted the following Resolution:
RESOLVED, By the Board of Trustees of The Trustees of Purdue University, as follows:
1.       The Board of Trustees hereby finds that a necessity exists for the planning, construction and financing of the project
