The facility’s design encompasses imaging and irradiation suites, each dedicated to three major equipment items with their respective control areas. Additionally, it offers specialized spaces for research, including animal holding areas for non-human primates and large animals like sheep, goats and swine.
Procedure spaces, monitoring areas, a radiochemistry lab, radioactive decay chambers and a hazardous waste walk-in cold room are also integrated. Other features include ABSL-2 restricted corridors, stringent security controls, a loading dock and compressed medical gas cylinder storage.
Designed with specialized spaces tailored for academic healthcare research, PRIMIR stands as a pivotal campus asset, significantly advancing the realm of NIH-funded translational research.
