Specifically this project will enable or facilitate the following: l) Replacement of an obsolescent heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system serving nearly 10,000 sq.ft. of animal facility space. 2) Improved energy conservation. 3) Expansion of veterinary hospital space to provide a contiguous but separate, post-operative recovery area, improved isolation of the surgeon scrub area and enlargement of a surgery room. 4) Improved storage and office space arrangement for veterinary hospital activities. 5) Relocation of selected animal care supervisory and technical staff office/support areas to space outside animal housing zone. 6) Increased capability of separating and isolating animals study groups, and animal species by purchase of portable mass air displacement enclosure units and movable ventilated microisolator cage/rack systems. 7) Improved segregation of animal groups by installation of partitions and walls in specific areas. 8) Better confinement of noise. 9) Improvements in animal facility security. and 10) Improved facility lighting. The grant request seeks funds to facilitate compliance with standards set forth in the NIH's Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, U.S. Public Health Service Policy and the Animal Welfare Act. Funding will also enable modernization and increased flexibility in animal housing arrangements. Presently the HVAC system at Wayne State University's Shapero Hall does not meet Guide standards. A pressing need exists to replace the building's HVAC system. Shapero Hall is the headquarters site for the university's centrally administered animal care and use program. The program has been accredited by the AAALAC since 1977 on a university- wide basis. That status is threatened without remedy of the HVAC system. This request represents an update and revision of a request submitted to same NIH program in Dec. 1991 -grant no. l G2O RR07965-Ol.

具体地说，该项目将实现或促进以下方面：L) 更换陈旧的供暖通风和空调设备 (暖通空调)系统服务面积近10,000平方英尺。动物设施的空间。2) 提高了节能效果。3)扩大兽医医院面积，以 提供连续但独立的术后恢复区，经过改进 隔离外科医生的擦洗区域并扩大手术室。4) 改进兽医医院的存储和办公空间安排 活动。5)选定的动物护理监督员和 技术人员办公室/支持区域在动物住宅区外的空间。 6)提高了分离和隔离动物研究小组的能力， 和动物物种通过购买便携式大量空气置换围栏 设备和可移动的通风微隔离器笼架系统。7)改进 通过安装隔离物和墙来隔离动物种群 特定领域。8)更好地限制噪声。9)改进 动物设施安全。和10)改善设施照明。 赠款申请寻求资金，以促进遵守所制定的标准 美国国立卫生研究院实验动物护理和使用指南第四名 公共卫生服务政策和动物福利法。资金也将 在动物舍中实现现代化和更大的灵活性 安排好了。目前韦恩州立大学的暖通空调系统 沙佩罗·霍尔不符合指南的标准。迫切需要 更换大楼的暖通空调系统。夏佩罗大厅是总部所在地 用于该大学中央管理的动物护理和使用项目。 该项目自1977年以来一直被AAALAC认证为一所大学- 基数很大。如果没有暖通空调系统的补救措施，这种地位就会受到威胁。 此请求代表对提交到的请求的更新和修订 1991年12月同样的NIH计划--批准号L G2O RR07965-Ol.
