July 2011
On July 19, the newly constructed client waiting and reception areas opened. The Intensive Care Unit and Canine Rehabilitation moved into new locations in the remodeled hospital. The new small animal wards and exam rooms are now open and in use.
February 2011
Advanced Imaging at the Lloyd VMC moved into its new space parallel to the glass hallway last week. The new space is centrally located between the small animal and large animal hospitals. A spacious radiology technologist reception station and office is now available for coordination of imaging activities. Overall, the service houses several specialized areas including both a CT suite and MRI suite, each with large animal specialty tables; a nuclear medicine suite with large and small animal patient isolation areas, and small animal abdominal ultrasound. Additional features include a stationary C-arm digital X-ray unit for fluoroscopy and other special procedures, film processing, digital large animal/equine radiology and two small animal digital X-ray rooms that will provide even more efficient small animal patient access. Separate areas for clinical image review, temporary animal holding, image reporting and teaching files are already in use. Fourth-year veterinary students are enjoying an improved radiology rounds room with updated IT capabilities. The new facility is a showcase for the modern, state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services provided at the VMC.

The pharmacy relocated to its new space in the VMC. The 2,500 square-foot area houses receiving and dispensing areas, a clean room for sterile compounding, break room/training room and a pharmacist’s office.
The large white building on the left as you turn off S. 16th at Entry A to the Lloyd VMC is the new Field Services Building. ISU Veterinary Field Services staff moved into the 10,000 square-foot building which provides office space, work and storage areas, a field laboratory, a rounds room, and garage for the equine and farm animal ambulatory trucks.
