8,000 square foot expansion of the Laboratory Animal Resource and Research Facility on the College Station Campus. The facility contains nine breeder rooms, four procedure rooms, sterilizer room and diet kitchen.

10,000 square foot remodeling of the Medical Science Building included addition of animal rooms and surgery preparation areas. The upgrading of mechanical system included separating animal areas from the building recirculating air conditioning system and installing a separate 100% outside air system to conform to AALAC standards.

Addition to Animal Facility:
35,000 square foot lab research space in a three story building; a part of which was a 3,000 square foot animal holding facility containing 15 cage rooms, along with cage wash facilities and ancillary feed rooms and four offices.

Surgical Research Facility:
Renovation of 3,300 square feet containing eight large animal rooms with a special bovine room of 1,900 square feet. The renovation was designed on a 100% outside air requirement.

Nine story laboratory research/resources building at the main campus in the Texas Medical Center. The facility contains 40,000 square feet of the full variety of animal holding research rooms; including dipping tanks, procedure rooms, X-ray rooms, acute dog pens, and holding rooms for bovine, primate, swine, sheep, rodent, canine, and feline animals. The facility contains extensive emergency power. The animal holding rooms include complete control for HVAC and lighting. An 8,000 square foot Containment Area with four levels of pressure separation was included, in addition to feed and bedding storage, dirty and clean cage wash facilities, and administrative space.

Major ventilation deficiencies were corrected in the cage wash area in two of their existing facilities by replacing devapormatic units on cage washers with sophisticated exhaust system designed to prevent steam vapors from entering cage wash room during cage loading.

Seven story research building with a basement containing 11,400 square feet of animal facilities. The facilities contained 18 large-animal holding rooms for bovine and canine animals. Approximately twenty air changes of pretreated outside air are introduced to the animal rooms through ultra low velocity ceiling panels and exhausted through filter-grilles in the wall near the floor. Individual room temperature and the degree of negative pressure to the corridor is automatically controlled and reset from devices mounted in the corridor. All devices suitable for a complete wash-down.

Pan American University

Upgraded the MEP systems for the existing animal facility.

5,500 square foot addition and upgrade of existing animal surgical facilities. Addition consisted of a catheterization laboratory. Existing operation rooms, aseptic operating rooms, preparation rooms and recovery rooms were upgraded to conform to present AALAC standards.

A complete 13,600 square foot animal facility designed for cardiovascular surgical research. The facility contains eight holding rooms for canine, swine and bovine animals. The HVAC system is designed for 15 air changes per hour with humidity control and 100% exhaust. Two procedure rooms and a necropsy room have special laminar flow air systems for a draft free surgical environment. Direct digital controls are used to maintain the critical temperature and humidity. Support areas include a chemistry lab, laser surgery lab, ethylene oxide autoclave, post surgical recovery, isolation rooms and administration offices.
