• Designing Animal Research Facilities
  Michael Frankel, CIPE, CPD
  Laboratory animals require a sterile environment to maintain the integrity
  of the research being performed. This article discusses various piping
  systems uniquely associated with the caring of small laboratory animals,
  including utility systems for animal watering, water treatment, room and
  floor cleaning, equipment washing, cage flushing, and drainage.
  
• Case Study: Animal Research Facility Plumbing System Design
  Paul R. Halamar and Karl E. Yrjanainen, PE
  The authors illustrate how to design the water and waste systems for an
  animal research laboratory by describing the 350,000-square-foot project
  for a pharmaceutical company in which their team recently was involved.
