MANHATTAN — Primary care for pets has a bright future at Kansas State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine thanks to a record sponsorship by Hill’s Pet Nutrition.
With Hill’s sponsorship — the largest corporate gift in the college’s history — three strategic areas in the college’s Mosier Hall will be renovated to provide approximately 16,000 square feet of new space dedicated to clinical training, classroom teaching and research. The Pet Health & Nutrition Center will be named in honor of Hill’s Pet Nutrition. The amount of the gift has not been publicly disclosed.
By renovating the space and expanding resources, students will have the opportunity to care for their clients in a private practice environment.
The renovation includes the deconstruction of Frick Auditorium to create 3,400 square feet of space on the first floor of Mosier Hall for the new Hill’s Pet Health & Nutrition Center. This project also will allow the addition of a 5,000-square-foot research suite on the second floor.
