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.

具体而言，该项目将促成或促进以下方面： 更换陈旧的供暖、通风和空调系统 （HVAC）系统，服务近10，000平方英尺动物设施空间。（二） 改善能源节约。3)扩大兽医医院空间， 提供一个连续但独立的术后恢复区， 隔离外科医生擦洗区域和扩大手术室。四、 改进兽医院的储藏和办公空间安排 活动5)搬迁选定的动物护理监督和 技术人员办公室/支持区域至动物饲养区以外的空间。 6)增加分离和隔离动物研究组的能力， 通过购买便携式大规模空气置换围栏， 单元和可移动通风微型隔离笼/架系统。 7)改进 通过安装隔板和墙壁隔离动物群体， 具体领域。 8)更好地控制噪音。 9)改善 动物设施安全（10）改善设施照明。 拨款申请旨在寻求资金，以促进遵守 美国国立卫生研究院实验动物护理和使用指南（NIH’s Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals） 公共卫生服务政策和动物福利法。资金还将 实现现代化并提高动物饲养的灵活性 安排 目前，韦恩州立大学的HVAC系统 Shapero Hall不符合指南标准。 迫切需要 更换大楼的空调系统 沙佩罗大厅是总部所在地 为大学的中央管理的动物护理和使用计划。 该项目自1977年以来一直获得AAALAC对大学的认可- 广泛的基础。 如果不对HVAC系统进行补救，这种状况就会受到威胁。 本请求是对提交给 1991年12月的相同NIH项目-批准号1 G20 RR 07965 - 01。
