The facility will offer 44 cage rooms, a laboratory animal surgical suite, post op erative and quarantine rooms as well as a large holding room for large animals that will be brought in from Duke's animal farm for research procedures. In order to preserve sanitary con ditions the vivarium will have a so called "clean" and "dirty" side. This will per mit animals that have gone through quar antine from coming in contact with ani mals scheduled for use in surgical research or animals in post operative rooms. Cage washing and the removal of used animal bedding will be carried out on the "dirty" side to maintain sanitary con ditions on the clean side. The vivarium will quarter most of the research animals, but existing facilities for research animals will be maintained to serve as ancillary units. In addition to the animal farm, some research animals at Duke are kept in the Nanaline H. Duke building. Clinical Research II and the Bell building. The vivarium was in the design stage for two-and-a-half years. Architects for the building is John D. Latimer & Associates and general con tractor is Muirhead Construction Co., both of Durham.
