Gainesville, Fla.
The University of Florida College of Medicine will break ground in September 2008 on the 90,000-sf Veterinary Education and Clinical Research Center in Gainesville, Fla. A design firm for the $58-million project, which will include an expansion of the University’s small animal hospital, will be selected in fall of 2007. The new three-story animal hospital will triple the existing facility’s footprint. The first floor will house examination rooms, waiting areas, an ICU, imaging, and a pharmacy. The second floor will include a surgery suite, anesthesia prep, staff showers, and recovery areas. Faculty offices and meeting rooms will be located on the third floor.
