Pathology building, a state-of-the-art facility that houses many faculty associated with the Veterinary Summer Research Programs

 The faculty and discipline-centered affiliations described in the program application are supported by an array of state-of-the-art infrastructures.

Veterinary Summer Research Program Facilities

Animal Cancer Center entrance at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital

Located at the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital (CSU VTH). The ACC, opened in 2002, contains 35,000 square feet of research space focused on spontaneously occurring cancers in pet animals as models for human cancers.

ARBL facility part of the veterinary research scholar program

Located on the CSU Foothills campus which includes diverse facilities from pasture and housing for the hundreds of cattle, horses, sheep and laboratory animals used for research, a 22,000 square foot laboratory/office building with an adjacent 15,000 square foot building housing gamete preservation and embryo transfer laboratories. This facility enhances interactions among faculty and students and includes specific facilities for cloning, sequencing and characterization of genes; measurement of hormones, receptors, and other compounds of biologic interest; transmission electron microscopy; production of transgenic animals; semen analyses; and cryopreservation of sperm and embryos. ​

Infectious Disease Research Center facility part of the veterinary scholars program

Located on the CSU Foothills Campus, the IDRC consists of 7 buildings completely devoted to multidisciplinary translational infectious disease research pertinent to human and animal health with ~40,000 net sq. ft of high level (primarily BSL3) biocontainment space. Approximately two thirds of IDRC space is Select Agent qualified for work with agents including Francisella tularensis, Burkhoderia pseudomallei, several vector borne zoonotic RNA viruses including West Nile virus, Yellow Fever, Dengue and several alphaviruses and associated insectaries. Within the BSL3 space is a 17,000 sq. ft cGMP facility, allowing for development of products under high biocontainment. In 2009, a 59,000 sq. ft. Research Innovation Complex (RIC) was opened. RIC houses academic research on the first level with start–up biotech business incubator space on the second level, thus optimizing transition of potential products from the basic to applied phase of development.​

Diagnostic Medicine Center

Completed in 2010 and situated adjacent to the CSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital at the CSU South Campus, houses extensive diagnostic and research facilities including the Fort Collins CSU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. The $42 million Diagnostic Medicine Center (DMC) contains 100,300 total sq ft including 88,000 sq ft of modern laboratory and office space. The DMC also contains 2,000 sq ft of BSL3 space, 1,000 sq ft of dedicated space for transmissible spongiform encephalopathy testing, and 15,000 sq ft of space for virology, bacteriology, parasitology, molecular diagnostics and necropsy, and 1,200 sq ft of high BSL2 necropsy space for animals with suspect zoonotic/foreign animal diseases. Meeting and conference rooms and offices for faculty and staff facilitate interactions among resident trainees, faculty, and DMC staff.​
