MADISON, Wis. â?? The University of Wisconsin-Madison wants to build a 10,000-square-foot vivarium to possibly hold more than 33,000 mice and rats.
â??Researchers in almost every case like having their laboratory and their animal research as close together as possible,â? said Alan Fish, UW-Madison associate vice chancellor for facility planning and management. â??This is pretty standard operating procedure for any biomedical facility that includes animals in its plan. â??
