Activists in Berkeley, California have an uphill battle in trying to stop a new biomedical facility at the university from being constructed. The Facility known as the Li a-Shing Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences, scheduled for completion in March 2010 would provide a seventy percent expansion of UC Berkeley's existing Northwest Animal Facility. That's around 30,000 more animals per year. The facility was designed Zimmer Gunsul Frasca of Portland.

"Mark Perepelitza has put his interest into reality at Zimmer Gunsul Frasca, working on projects like the EPA Region 8 Headquarters in Denver - which used different facade strategies to maximize daylighting - and the Li Ka- Shing Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences in Berkeley."
Here's an article in which how best to operate a lab is discussed - reducing operating costs, electrical load and the like. No discussion of the hellish lives the animals will endure inside these facilities. Joseph Collins of Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Portland talks about how to build a "sustainable" vivisection lab. What a joke:
