What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? During this past year, the facilities program continued to impact the future of the research and extension programs at Lincoln University. With the completion of the new aquaculture research facility, the aquaculture program was moved from a deteriorating facility to a new state-of-the-art one which will enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the research being conducted. Major upgrades were made to the Small Animal Research Facility HVAC system and roof replacements. This enabled continued research to continue in the facility. Repairs made at various facilities continue to support the programs provided and research being conducted at these facilities. Design was completed for the small ruminant building critically needed at the Busby Farm. Bids will be forthcoming upon approval of the Pre-Environmental Assessment. No major land or equipment purchases were made during the FY13 reporting period.
