The world faces an unprecedented shortage of veterinary healthcare professionals. Our region has an especially fast-growing veterinary market due to increasing population, a high standard of living, and a culture of animal companionship. Combined, these factors fuel the need for a state-of-the-art facility.

Specifically, we will increase veterinary student enrollment by 20%. The first incoming class following construction of the complex will grow from 138 to 168 students, with the full program growing from 600 to 720 students. This will also open space for more than 275 undergraduate biomedical sciences and other students on CSU’s main campus.

Not since the first veterinary classes began in 1883 has CSU had the opportunity to reimagine the future of veterinary education and the profession on this scale. Our new Veterinary Hospital and Education Complex will centralize all veterinary courses and activities on a single campus, enabling us to advance animal healthcare through integrated education, clinical practice, and applied clinical research in one location.

Estimated capital cost for the new construction as part of the VHEC is $230 million, donors can support our vision of excellence by investing in VHEC through a variety of named spaces and facility enhancements. Your contribution to this project is not just an investment in the people and animals it will serve but also in the limitless potential of research discoveries and life-saving treatments that await us.
