This will facilitate the closure and demolition of another unit, including its BRF wash-up area, to make way for the University's New Biology development at King's Buildings. Current animal stocks will transfer to SCRM to ensure continuity of research and the utmost in animal welfare. Since the BRF Wash-up Area of SCRM lacks capacity to accommodate the substantial increase of stocking density resulting from the transfer, new Wash-up Area equipment is urgently needed to meet this requirement, and to remain compliant with rigorous Home Office PELh requirements."
