This application requests support alterations and renovations scheduled to be carried out in the John Hopkins Medical Institutions. Two major projects are included. The first is reconfiguration and renovation of space currently used as laboratories to provide expanded and centralized cage wash and personnel support areas. These facilities and their associated fixed equipment are needed to support animal care space which already exists in the Taylor Research Building of the School of Medicine and also in anticipation of the needs for the services which will be generated by 17,000 square feet of animal housing facilities now under construction in the adjoining Rutland Avenue Building. These centralized laboratory animal services facilities allows consolidation of programs now in place in other parts of the institution and permit a significant upgrading in the level of animal care that can be provided to large numbers of biomedical researchers who will be occupying the new research building when it is completed in 1991. Among the groups to occupy this building will be the investigative and diagnostic laboratories of the Division of Comparative Medicine. These will all be moved to the new structure with the exception of the animal autopsy facility. Although it will not be moved, this facility is in need of upgrading and improvement to reflect the current health and safety standards. Thus, request is made for down-draft autopsy tables, a down-draft trimming area, and replacement of existing wooden cabinets with more appropriate and sanitizable impervious surfaces. This facility is a critical element in the diagnostic programs of the laboratory animal medicine group; the improvement will result in a much more appropriate facility than the one currently in use. Both these projects reflect a coordinated approach to improving and upgrading animal facilities within the medical institutions. Over the past five years the institution has spent over $4 million on capitol improvements related to the laboratory animal care program and is now expanding $3.4 million on the additional space noted above.

此申请请求支持计划的改建和翻新 在约翰·霍普金斯医疗机构进行。 两大 项目都包括在内。 首先是重新配置和改造 目前用作实验室的空间，以提供扩展和集中的 笼子清洗和人员支持区域。 这些设施及其 需要相关的固定设备来支持动物护理空间 医学院泰勒研究大楼已存在 并预测将要提供的服务的需求 由 17,000 平方英尺的动物饲养设施产生，目前正在建设中 毗邻的拉特兰大道大楼正在施工。 这些中心化的 实验动物服务设施现在可以整合项目 在机构的其他部分到位，并允许显着 提高可向大型动物提供的动物护理水平 将从事新研究的生物医学研究人员数量 该建筑于 1991 年竣工。 该建筑将成为该机构的调查和诊断实验室 比较医学部。 这些都将转移到新的 除动物尸检设施外的结构。 虽然它 不会移动，该设施需要升级和改进 反映当前的健康和安全标准。 于是提出请求 用于下吸式尸检台、下吸式修剪区域和更换 现有的木制柜子具有更合适和可消毒的 不透水的表面。 该设施是一个关键要素 实验动物医学组的诊断方案；这 改进后将产生比现有设施更合适的设施 目前正在使用。 这两个项目都体现了一种协调一致的方法 改善和升级医疗机构内的动物设施。 在过去五年中，该机构已花费超过 400 万美元 国会大厦与实验动物护理计划相关的改进 现将上述额外空间扩大 340 万美元。
