ANIMAL HOUSES

Lizard Shed, Building 61

This housing facility was built and furnished specifically for lizard husbandry. Features include skylights, vents, air conditioning, and an industrial sink. Racks are set up with UV lamps and heat strips. Incubators and weighing and measuring equipment are located here for easy access.

 

Frog Room, Building 32, Room G11

This is a temperature controlled room set up for the husbandry and breeding of frogs.

LABORATORIES

Molecular Labs, Building 15, Room G06 and G13

The Pre-PCR lab (below) is set up with individual work stations. The PCR lab is dedicated to work with PCR products.
