This project includes construction of faculty offices, meeting rooms and graduate student spaces. Funding for this initiative has been secured and planning is well underway.

This resource will complement existing facilities on campus such as the Saskatchewan Centre for Cyclotron Sciences. The addition of a second PET-CT unit on campus will expand research in areas that will ultimately benefit human and veterinary patients. Funding for this facility has also been secured and planning has begun. The WCVM has submitted a grant application for the purchase of the PET-CT itself. 

This new centre will bring together a multi-disciplinary team of people including veterinary and human medicine specialists in medical and radiation oncology, comparative cancer biology, medical imaging, surgery and pathology as well as students in undergraduate, graduate and professional health sciences programs at the U of S. The new centre will provide specialized care for animals diagnosed with cancer. It will also help researchers develop new tools for diagnosing and treating cancer in animal and human patients. 

The new centre will unite all areas of livestock and forage research — including the Goodale Research and Teaching Farm — under a single complex of field laboratories and science labs. Visit the LFCE website for more information. 

These facilities complement the new Facility for Applied Avian Research (FAAR) and also support activities conducted by the student organization, Wild and Exotic Animal Medicine Society (WEAMS).
