The Baylor Sciences Building (BSB) Vivarium’s mission is to ensure animal welfare and facilitate research. The BSB Vivarium provides husbandry and care services for rodents used in animal research and also serves as a resource for all vertebrate animal users. The BSB Vivarium provides training to all users and can provide tailored training to meet the specific needs of a research project.
The BSB Vivarium was renovated in 2016 and has seen continued growth since that time. If you are interested in becoming a user of the BSB Vivarium, please contact us to discuss your project needs.
