A new disease isolation facility has been com- 

 pleted at the Center and should be in operation in 

 1965. This buildintr, contaiiiin,<r over 10,000 

 square feet of floorspace, is divided into five bays. 

 The center bay contains utility installations for 

 steam, air conditioning, and heating, as well as 

 a pass-through cage washer, bottle washer and 

 sterilizer, and security shower fixtures. The two 

 bays on either side of the central bay each contain 

 eight rooms appro.ximately 12 by 13 feet, so con- 

 structed that they can be used either as animal 

 rooms or adjunct laboratories, and converted one 

 to the other as need demands. 



On January 15. 1964, the Gainesville (Fla.) 

 field station moved into its new building at the 

 eastern edge of the city. Offices and the laborato- 

 ries for chemical and biological research occupy 

 a one-story concrete block building, 100 by 60 feet 

 in size, on a 25-acre tract purchased by the Bureau. 

 Outside enclosures for blackbirds and other species 

 used in research on bird-control methods adjoin 

 the laboratory. The property is of sufficient size 

 to atford adequate space for future expansion of 

 outside pens and provide a broad buffer zone 

 around the periphery. 



Xew facilities of the Denver Wildlife Research Center 

 include a predator control research laboratory adjacent 

 to coyote pens (top), headquarters building for the 

 Monte Vista Research Station where propagation of 

 rare and endangered birds is being pursued (middle).
