Athens, Ga.
The University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine opened its $63-million Animal Health Research Center in early summer of 2006. Dedicated to the study of the treatment and prevention of emerging infectious diseases of zoonotic origin, the three-story, 75,00-sf BSL-3AG facility accommodates biocontainment spaces for the study of agents requiring BSL-1 to BSL-3 facilities. The AHRC has office space and dedicated lab space for 50 investigators and staff, and researchers throughout campus as well as federal and industry scientists will have access to the center’s labs.
