About the David and Bonnie Brunner Purdue Veterinary Medical Hospital Complex:

The 162,500-square-foot complex consists of three components: the David and Bonnie Brunner Small Animal Hospital, which expands the existing small-animal hospital facilities in Lynn Hall; the David and Bonnie Brunner Equine Hospital; and the David and Bonnie Brunner Farm Animal Hospital. Together, the Equine and Farm Animal Hospitals will replace the aging existing Large Animal Hospital. The new facilities feature advanced design and the latest equipment to enhance patient care, accommodate increased caseload, optimize hands-on learning for veterinary students and advance clinical trials aimed at finding better treatments for diseases that afflict both animals and humans. The complex also includes dedicated space for client education and community engagement opportunities.
