Site work and new construction of a mixed-use development in Raleigh, North Carolina. Completed plans call for the construction of a 3,610-square-foot, one-story above grade educational facility. The new CVM TRF, a one-story, free-standing, masonry, 3610 GSF building, will be located adjacent to the CVM academic facilities between the Lab Animal Research (LAR) area and the Teaching Animal Unit (TAU) farm. The facility, an extension of the LAR unit, includes animal holding rooms, feed storage, mechanical and electrical rooms, a toilet room, and a small but fully
equipped sterile surgery suite. The building will be placed near to “Finger Barn #2” (referred to as the G20 facility), another swine research building, to allow for shared use of space. The spaces
within the TRF, as typical for vivarium spaces, are a highly controlled environment; lighting, temperature, humidity, ventilation, air pressures and other factors are strictly controlled as part of
the research environment.
