UW-Madison eyes new quarantine facility for research monkeys

UW-Madison wants to lease a Blue Mounds facility as a holding zone for monkeys, allowing the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center to increase the size of its animal colony. The 20,000 square-foot building is owned by Harlan Laboratories, an animal research lab, which closed its operations there in March. The space would be used to quarantine macaque monkeys new to UW-Madison.
