New Small Animal Hospital in Glasgow

This is just a wee message for those of you who might be interested. Glasgow Vet School has just opened a brand new Small Animal Hospital, and it was all over the BBC Scotland news yesterday, so I thought I'd post the link:

There is also a video you can watch in the article, where one of the neurologist talks about hydrotherapy and the new MRI machine.

This is huge for Glasgow Vet School as prior to this, they were working in rather run down facilities which were far too small to work in. This place is amazing - I had a tour not long ago before they moved in, it's HUGE! Just thought some of you may be interested.

Blasphemy!
I'm joking. It did look lovely, with the grass roof and all. I haven't seen it for a while though.

Don't forget about Edinburgh's new buildings as well though (oncology centre/Roslin institute etc). :yep:
*not biased at all*

Lol. Well Edinburgh is most likely lovely too:smile: but sadly I have yet to see it:frown:. Glasgows also just made the fact that I'm finally applying seem so much more REAL :yes:

The open day is Saturday 26th or something, right? My sister (not a vet applicant) is going so I'll be there. :biggrin:

It looked impressive even when it was still being built (I saw it at the Open Day 2008) so I can only imagine how nice it looks at the moment. :yep:
