Biologics Regulation and ResearchThe People and Work of Buildings 29 & 29A

Cage Washing Machine Photos

The basement of Building 29A housed the animal rooms, feed storage, and cage washing equipment. Originally, there was at least one animal room on each floor of Building 29, with most of the 5th floor housing animals, including monkeys. Over time the basement of 29A became the place where the animals and their associated cage washing, feed storage rooms, etc. were kept.

Originally there was cage washing space in Building 29, but after Building 29A was completed, there was space in its basement for cage washing too, and over time, space in Building 29’s basement was converted to lab space.
