The Animal Care Facility, formerly the Animal Care Centre, is shared by several faculties at Dalhousie University, but operated by the Faculty of Medicine. It is used for animal-based research, following or exceeding the standards for the ethical and humane treatment of animals in scientific and medical research. It was established in early 1968 with a Faculty Advisory Committee (Dr. Mark Segal, Dr. Briar Chandler, Dr. W.J. Longley, Dr. C.E. Kinley Jr.), representing various Departments within the Faculty of Medicine. Dr. W. Grant Hilliard was appointed the first director of the Animal Care Centre, starting on January 1, 1968.
