DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will renovate the most critical University of California Davis (UC Davis) cage wash facility by replacing a 34 year old tunnel-style cage washer and also by purchasing and installing a cooling-ventilation system which currently does not exist. The K2 building is an open-air design that does not have a sanitary, vermin-proof environment. After the equipment purchased is installed, the university will complete renovations to completely enclose the clean side. This stand-alone core facility operated by the Center for Laboratory Animal Science (CLAS) provides cage washing services for 12 campus animal facilities and for two more facilities that are in the planning stage. Animals in these facilities are used on 90 projects that have a total direct award amount of $120,244,000, of which $84,620,000 is NIH-funded. The total represents 42 Principal Investigators (PIs) in the UC Davis School of Medicine, College of Biological Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, College of Letters and Science: Social Sciences, College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, and the Biotechnology Program. Twenty-one additional projects which total $25,274,000 will start after September 1, 2008. The upgrades described in the application will dramatically increase reliability, improve efficiency, and most importantly provide a high level of cage sanitation. This project is necessary to ensure the health of campus laboratory animal colonies.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将通过更换34年历史的隧道式笼清洗机以及购买和安装目前不存在的冷却通风系统来翻新最关键的加州戴维斯大学（UC Davis）笼清洗设施。K2大楼是一个露天设计，没有一个卫生，防虫的环境。购买的设备安装后，大学将完成装修，以完全封闭清洁的一面。这个独立的核心设施由实验动物科学中心（CLAS）运营，为12个校园动物设施和另外两个处于规划阶段的设施提供笼清洗服务。这些设施中的动物用于90个项目，直接奖励总额为120，244，000美元，其中84，620，000美元由NIH资助。总共代表了42名主要研究者（PI），分别来自加州大学戴维斯分校医学院、生物科学学院、兽医学院、文学与科学学院：社会科学、农业与环境科学学院以及生物技术项目。另外21个项目，总额为25，274，000美元，将在2008年9月1日之后开始。应用程序中描述的升级将大大提高可靠性，提高效率，最重要的是提供高水平的笼子卫生。该项目是保证校园实验动物群体健康的必要措施。
