WCVM construction update: February 2009

WCVM's diagnostic addition, February 2009

As the veterinary college enters the fifth year of its major expansion and renovation initiative, the final stages of the multi-phase construction project are nearing completion.

Exterior work on the WCVM’s diagnostic expansion wrapped up in late 2008 and construction crews are focusing their efforts on completing interior work in the office and laboratory spaces. Occupation of the new diagnostic areas is scheduled for the spring of 2009.

As well, renovations continue in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital’s large animal clinical services area. That project includes the modernization of the surgical and ward facilities, the creation of common areas between two large animal surgical suites, and a new induction and recovery area for large animal patients.

A nuclear scintigraphy suite is also being developed as part of the renovation. Construction will be completed during the first few months in 2009.
