Core Facilities
Laboratory animal 'hotel'
3 UNI-PROTECT units for keeping lab animals (mice and rats) under controlled conditions are installed in O&N1, 8th floor, room 08.557.
Only animals that can NOT be returned to (or for some reason can NOT be accepted into) the laboratory animal facility will be accommodated in the 'hotel' under strict conditions.
More information about the animal 'hotel' can be found here.
Mechanical workshop
The mechanical workshop is located in ONI, 8th floor, room 08.549.
The price list for intra-, extradepartmental research domains as well as external customers is available here. Billing will be effected each trimester. All extradepartmental research domains as well as extra-K.U.Leuven customers have to fill out the application form and hand it over to Luc Grammet, responsible for the mechanical workshop. Extensive projects need approval of the department manager.
