New veterinary teaching hospital under construction at Iowa State
AMES, Iowa Construction has started on a new veterinary teaching hospital at
Iowa State University in Ames.
The new center, located at the college of veterinary medicine, will focus on the
care of large animals and horses, which Iowa State says is the fastest growing
segment of animals in Iowa.
The hospital also will increase the capacity of the college's Veterinary Diagnostic
Laboratory, which is charged with safeguarding the state's livestock industry.
The hospital will be named after Gene Lloyd, a 1949 graduate of ISU's College of
Veterinary Medicine, and his wife, Linda, who donated three and a-half (m)
million dollars toward its construction.
The teaching hospital is slated to be completed by the fall of 2008.
