Abstract
Planning for the Wildlife Disease Research Building began in January 2007. This building was to be attached to the east side of the Animal Research Building and Invasive Species Research Building. It would contain state-of-the-art BLS-3 facilities for research on wildlife and their diseases. The planning process had reached the Solicitation for Offers phase when the financial crisis of 2008 caused major budget cuts. This stalled the project and resulted in the decision to take a step back and redesign the building so that it would fit a new, smaller budget. However, the project continued to experience issues with funding and was eventually terminated by the GSA in late 2010. As of today, there are no plans to pick the project back up.
Arrangement
The collection is organized into four series: Series I: Planning and Development, 1/17/2007-8/4/2009, Series II: Planning and Development, 8/26/2009, Series III: Planning and Development, 8/10/2010, and Series IV: Planning and Development, 12/2/2010. All series are arranged in the original order that was determined by the records creator William Dusenberry.
