The Large Animal Research Unit (LARU) is an invaluable facility for large-animal surgery and experiments, especially in the area of biotechnology. Its Building Director (Bordignon) is a member of the Department of Animal Science.Ìý
Following extensive recent innovations, this facility has been a powerful resource not only for members of our department, but also for other animal researchers across both Campuses of the university. The ensuing research has been central to much collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine and other research units at McGill and other universities.Ìý It was here that the first transgenic goats were produced (1999) and the first cloned pigs were developed for biomedical purposes in 2007.Ìý
Project Description:
Renovate the West portion of the LARU building to house the farm repair shop.
Project Scope:
This project replaces 18-148 because of funding consideration.
The updated proposal is to use keep a portion of the LARU building that was supposed to be demolished and use a portion of it to house the repair shop for farm equipment. It is understood that the largest machine will not fit inside the building but other will and that is ok.
