A £15Million hi-tech
animal hospital has been praised by Scotland’s Finance Secretary John Swinney
The facility, at Glasgow University’s Garscube Campus in Bearsden, has a range of
hi-tech features, including MRI and CT scanners and oncology and endoscopy suites.
Mr Swinney officially opened the centre, which also has a pain and rehabilitation
centre with a HYDRO PHYSIO underwater treadmill, plus four operating theatres.
Technik
Technology have also installed and manufactured all of the kennelling for the rehabilitation
area, which also included their tables and lighting.
Between 120 and 130 staff can
work at the centre, which is also equipped to provide radiotherapy and chemo¬therapy
to treat cancer in animals.
Mr Swinney toured the facility and afterwards stated:
“This is a world-class facility and it is a great compliment to the university that
it has brought together the necessary funding support to ensure we have such an
excellent care and research facility.
“It complements the reputation for veterinary
medicine expertise that the University of Glasgow commands."
Clare Knottenbelt, clinical
director at the hospital, said: “It’s a fabulous hospital. We have all the advanced
imaging facilities you would expect in a really high-quality hospital.
“We see about
11,000 animals per year in this hospital. It is the only hospital in the UK that
has all of these facilities under one roof and has been designed to have everything
very much together."
The building has won several architectural awards, including
the Royal Incorporation Of Architects in Scotland’s Andrew Doolan Best Building
in Scotland Award.
Technik Technology are very proud to have worked on this project
and be involved in such a prestigious building.
