IMPROVEMENTS TO BRING UCSF TO AAALAC STANDARDS

拟议的翻修和其他改善措施背后的理由 此应用程序中描述的是升级 加州大学旧金山分校动物设施的物理工厂低于AAALAC标准 以使加州大学旧金山分校的ACF有资格参加AAALAC 认证。以下是对这些具体缺陷的描述： *旧金山病理大楼内的动物护理设施 综合医院不达标。养殖场的动物护理通风系统 病理楼与人性化服务区并不分离 占用，不提供冷却，并提供数量不足的 空气。笼子清洗设施不足。动物房间里没有 单独的温度控制、天花板和地板表面 正在恶化，该地区的许多灯都不是防潮的。这个 天花板不是防止害虫和野生啮齿动物的足够屏障 机械爬行空间不能进入动物设施。另外， 走廊太窄了。 *在帕纳苏斯高地校园，没有隔离条款 啮齿动物和兔子在这段时间里从各种小贩那里收到 它们是从供应商那里收到的，以及它们被转移到 动物室。 通过这项申请获得的资金将用于改建 和设备来纠正上述缺陷，这将完成一个 获得AAALAC认证的长期努力。

The rationale behind the proposed renovations and other improvements described in this application is to upgrade the remaining areas of the physical plant of the UCSF Animal Facility that are below AAALAC standards of accreditation so that the UCSF-ACF will qualify for AAALAC accreditation. A description of these specific deficiencies follow: * The Animal Care Facility in the Pathology Building at San Francisco General Hospital is substandard. The animal care ventilation system in the Pathology Building is not separate from that serving areas of human occupancy, does not supply cooling, and supplies an inadequate quantity of air. The cage washing facility is inadequate. Animal rooms do not have individual temperature controls, ceiling and floor surfaces are deteriorating, and many lights in the area are not vapor-proof. The ceiling is not an adequate barrier to prevent vermin and wild rodents in the mechanical crawl space from entering the animal facility. Also, the corridors are too narrow. * On the Parnassus Heights Campus there is no provision for isolating rodents and rabbits received from a variety of vendors between the time that they are received from the vendors and the time they are moved to the animal rooms. Funds obtained as a result of this application would provide for remodeling and equipment to correct the above deficiencies and this would complete a long term effort to obtain AAALAC accreditation.
