Scope Of Work
The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), a Tier I Research University, retained CRB to develop a barrier suite within its existing vivarium facility. To attract researchers, UTA wanted to modify this space to accept germ-free rodents because they provide researchers with opportunities for comparison to non-germ-free rodents and to introduce microorganisms one at a time.
CRB investigated three options for modifying the existing vivarium spaces as part of a four-week feasibility study. We then provided full architectural, engineering and vivarium planning s with an expedited design schedule to maintain the required move-in date. All existing animals housed in the vivarium were temporarily relocated during construction, and the remainder of the Life Science Building remained in operation.
