Facility will expand research
By James Buckman
Kansan staff writer
KANSAS CITY, Kan. - Administrators at the University of Kansas Medical Center are hoping that a new $5.5 million animal research facility will help the hospital achieve accreditation in that field.
Roger Lambson, vice chancellor for health policy and program development, said that being accredited by the American Association for Laboratory Animal Care was an important program prestige and recognition
The new building is scheduled for completion in January 1989 and will be on 38th Street, east of Dykes Library on the Med Center campus.
"The facility will provide for us the ability to expand our animal research program, not only in the laboratory, but also in our sophistication of projects," he said.
Mary Harrison, a member of the Med Center's Animal Care and Use
committee, said the animal research program met requirements in all areas except where the limitations of the present buildings stood in the way.
"We can't be 100 percent up to snuff because it is physically not possible," she said. "It is the last thing we can address."
For example, the hallways in the present buildings are too narrow to safely transport animals in cages.
Some of the improvements in the new facility will be changes that will comply with accreditation guidelines. But Lambson said that the building also would include extensive radiology, radiology and diagnostic facilities.
In general, the users of the facility primarily the School of Medicine and several of the Med Center's centers of research, will be able to better control the environment in which the animals exist and are tested.
Harrison said, "I think the rationale for wanting that increase of control over environmental factors is to protect the animals and to conduct the best possible research.
"If the temperature fluctuates 30 degrees or if the animals are exposed to something that is not part of the research design plan, then the results maybe aren't as good as they could have been."
Lambson said that although animal research was a sensitive subject in the public's perception, the Med Center viewed it as a necessity.
Animal research has been misrepresented late and hospitals have taken heat from the public for it, Lambson said. He said that emotions sometimes clouded the real need for animals in research.
"We feel very strongly that animal research is important for the development of new information that will lead to the improvement of human health care as well as animal care," he said.

to at Kansas legislators. Hutchinson said that this Lobby Day would be on a smaller scale, a more direct attempt to convince legislators who had been hesitant in the past about the Margin. Most efforts will be directed toward House of Representatives members, she said.
ASK directors and student body presidents from the Regents schools will also meet with a representative from the governor's office tomorrow to let Gov. Mike Hayden know their concerns.
