| A. Wildlife Disease and Deer Research Facility ("WDDRF") - The WDDRF facility will serve as the regional centerpiece for wildlife and wildlife disease research. An expansion of the available laboratory facilities devoted to wildlife research will expand research programs on deer physiology, growth, nutrition, ecology, disease surveillance, with continued use and development of disease biomarkers, and disease therapy development with 自慰视频 faculty in the Department of Natural Resource Management, and the Davis College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, the School of Veterinary Medicine, the Museum of Texas Tech University, the Department of Biological Sciences, The Institute of Environmental & Human Health, and 自慰视频 Health Sciences Center. This facility will support and expand groundbreaking and impactful research and surveillance in a region with the greatest deer density in the United States. Proposed new standalone research/lab facility is estimated to be between 1,000 and 1,500 GSF to serve 1-2 researchers.
Llano River Conservation Center ("LRCC") - The mission of the LRCC is to encourage education and community engagement in natural resource management, watershed protection, ecological restoration, environmental conservation, range and wildlife management, invasive species, and zoonotic diseases in the Central Texas Hill Country. The current campus facilities no longer meet the anticipated needs for research, engagement, and educational programs.
The proposed new multipurpose conference facility's anticipated gross square footage will be in the range of 7,000 to 7,500 GSF and be able to accommodate a minimum 200-person capacity for meetings or events. |
