# Alterations and Renovations

> **NIH NIH P20** · LSU PENNINGTON BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH CTR · 2020 · $300,000

## Abstract

Project Summary:
The Metabolic Basis of Disease COBRE seeks to expand an intellectual and scientific infrastructure and promote
biomedical research that enhances our understanding of the metabolic basis of a variety of disease states. Each
of Project PI’s Research Projects heavily utilizes rodent models and therefore depend on state-of-the-art
preclinical infrastructure and equipment. This Alterations and Renovation (A&R) proposal intends to enhance a
specific area of the animal facility that supports the metabolic and behavioral research proposed within this
COBRE. These renovations will particularly focus on areas of our newly generated Preclinical Research Core
(PRC) which house a suite of equipment and infrastructure for the metabolic phenotyping of rodent models. The
proposed renovations include improvements to the basic architectural floor layout, HVAC renovations to enhance
heat and humidity control, and electrical renovations to provide sufficient power for new equipment. Each
renovation addresses a key need within our animal facility and will positively impact each project within this
COBRE.
