Building History

A color image of the Lab Animal Resources Center.

The Laboratory Animal Resource Center houses the animals used in veterinary research and instruction and their caretakers. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, it was involved in a series of controversies involving the use of animals in veterinary classes, which resulted in student protests and a citation by the USDA.
