Comparative Medicine Center Upgrade

简介(由申请人提供)：萨卢斯大学，前身为宾夕法尼亚视光学院(PCO)，最初是一所单一目的的教育机构，为眼科护理专业人员提供视光博士(OD)学位。PCO随后通过增加康复和听力学方面的临床培训计划，以及最近增加的医生助理(PA)计划，扩大了其在健康职业教育领域的视野。萨卢斯大学长期以来一直重视生物医学研究，占地1648平方米。英国《金融时报》隔膜外加492平方英尺。FT，隔离区，以支持其生物医学研究计划。以下提案是为实现该机构的两个主要目标而提出的设备。这些目标是通过购买和安装新的暖通空调系统以取代目前老化的系统来提高间隔室环境控制的质量，并通过购买和安装具有足够能力运行暖通空调和其他关键畜牧业和方案要求的专用应急发电机来确保间隔室环境控制的连续性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Salus University, formerly the Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO), was originally established as a single purpose educational institution graduating eye care professionals with the Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree. PCO then expanded its horizons within health professions education, by the addition of clinical training programs in rehabilitation and audiology and, most recently adding a physician's assistant's (PA) program. Salus University has a long-standing emphasis in biomedical research, and maintains a1648 sq. ft. vivarium plus a 492 sq. ft, quarantine area in support of its biomedical research program. The following proposal is for equipment that would accomplish two major goals of the institution. These goals are to improve the quality of the environmental control of the vivarium by purchasing and installing a new HVAC system to replace the current aging system and also assure the continuity of the environmental control of the vivarium by purchasing and installing a dedicated emergency power generator of sufficient capacity to operate the HVAC and other critical husbandry and program requirements.
