Description of Research Facilities
CVM laboratory spaces are located in three different buildings, all within walking distance of each other, on the WesternU Pomona campus:
- The Health Education Center (HEC) on the east side of campus
- The Veterinary Clinic Center (VCC) mid-campus
- The Rodney P. Wineberg Center (formerly the University Research Center, [RWC/URC]) on the west side of the campus
Research Spaces in the HEALTH EDUCATION CENTER (HEC)
The Health Education Center (HEC) on the east side of campus encompasses the HEC WesternU Main Lab, a 12,640 ft2 laboratory with shared equipment for all Colleges. Of this space, 1,540 ft2 is dedicated to CVM research. CVM researchers are provided access to two cell culture rooms (132 ft2 and 226 ft2) dedicated to the isolation and culture of stem cells / cancer cell research, and a Bioinformatics Core Center (100 ft2) that provides access to research software and hardware at dedicated workstations.
