Across the hall from the surgical suite are two dedicated, specially-designed, 150-sq-ft holding rooms for animals. These small-animal quarters are managed by the Division of Comparative Medicine. The University also maintains state-of-the-art barrier and non-barrier animal facilities immediately across the street. A modern histology facility, outfitted with equipment for intracardiac animal perfusion, embedding brain tissue in paraffin or plastic, tissue sectioning, tissue staining, and histologic analysis (either by electron microscope, light microscope or computer-aided image analysis) is also located nearby.
