Plans are moving\nforward for the construction of a new Veterinary Teaching Hospital<\/a>\nat Purdue University, replacing a majority of the current hospital with larger,\nstate-of-the-art facilities and services. \nThe project, pending formal approval from Purdue\u2019s Board of Trustees,\nwill cost $108 million. Purdue has committed $35 million, which includes\nongoing fundraising by the College of Veterinary Medicine, and the state of\nIndiana recently approved a $73 million appropriation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith this support, we can say that the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine\u2019s dream of having a new state-of-the-art hospital facility will become a reality,\u201d said Dean Willie Reed.  The new hospital, which will be constructed just east of Lynn Hall on Purdue\u2019s campus, will consist of small and large animal facilities, including a new equine hospital and farm animal hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Groundbreaking for the new facility is anticipated in\nFebruary or March 2020, with the goal of completing construction by December\n2021.  Then, the process of moving in\nwould begin in January or February 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a new teaching hospital will solve an important issue with the college\u2019s accreditation,<\/a><\/strong> which was recently changed from full accreditation to probationary accreditation after the American Veterinary Medical Association\u2019s Council on Education cited issues with the existing Veterinary Teaching Hospital following a visit last fall by an accreditation review team.\u00a0 \u201cWhile this designation has no near-term effect \u2013 we remain an accredited College of Veterinary Medicine \u2013 it does highlight the urgency of building a new hospital facility,\u201d Dean Reed said.\u00a0 \u201cThe new Veterinary Teaching Hospital project is exactly what we need to correct the deficiency and restore the College\u2019s full accreditation status. As our College celebrates its 60th Anniversary, and the 150th Anniversary of Purdue University, we truly are poised to take our next Giant Leap!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine is the only veterinary college in Indiana. The Veterinary Teaching Hospital provides comprehensive veterinary care for animals, annually serving more than 16,400 patients through the Small Animal Hospital<\/a><\/strong>, more than 1,800 patients in the Large Animal Hospital<\/a><\/strong>, and an additional 23,000 farm animals and horses through on-farm visits conducted by the Bovine, Equine, and Swine Ambulatory services<\/a><\/strong>. From the fiscal year 2009-2010 to 2017-2018, hospital caseloads increased by 50%. The hospital also is vital to the education of veterinary students, postgraduate veterinarians, and veterinary nursing students, providing hands-on training in an actual hospital setting for the next generation of veterinarians and veterinary nurses. The hospital supports the education of approximately 40 residents and interns, 100 clinical year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine students, and 30 veterinary nursing students each year. As of fall 2018, the College enrolled 339 DVM students and 89 veterinary nursing students. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
