Frequently Asked Questions
Click on the question in order to view the answer.
When Will the Animals Move?
We will do our best to move your animals as close to your lab move-in date as possible.
Keep in mind that moving the animals is dependent on the animal facility being fully functional. Brand new facilities require ‘breaking in’ so to speak. We need to make sure that every piece of equipment (autoclaves, rack washers, biosafety cabinets, animal transfer stations, HVAC systems, etc.) are all working correctly.

How should I Prepare the ANIMALS for the MOVE?
We encourage you to take this time for culling animals before your move.
We strongly suggest leaving some of your animals in your current housing facility in the beginning as well as any newborn pups or imminently ready to deliver ‘moms.’
We will provide ‘GREEN’ index cards to mark the cages you wish to be moved.
You will be instructed to place these cards on the cages that need to be moved, a few days before your move.

How do I get access to the new facility?
The requirements for gaining access are as follows. You must be on a current, approved protocol; you must have up-to-date training on Laws & Regulations as well as SPF training.
Additionally, you must have completed the SLU 3.1 animal facility orientation. Contact the training office, auts@uw.edu or 206-221-7709, to register for your orientation. We are recommending your orientation be done as a ‘lab group’ as much as possible. Orientations are slated to begin around the end of April. Orientations will be taught by one of our Trainers with the Facility Supervisor being available on site for questions.Once training is completed, your building card, will then be given access to the animal facillity by the facility supervisor.
