Take action against UC-Berkeley's animal torture expansion!

Construction of the the Li Ka-Shing Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences at University Avenue and Oxford Way in Berkeley has begun (project construction started in April 2008) and is scheduled for completion by March 2010. This facility will include a basement-level vivisection lab that would expand UC Berkeley's existing Northwest Animal Facility by seventy percent.

The McCarthy Building Company, Northern Pacific Division, based in San Francisco (http:\/\/www.mccarthy.com<\/a>) is the general contractor.

Project Management for the construction: UC Berkeley Capital Projects (http:\/\/www.cp.berkeley.edu<\/a>)
