The two facilities will be linked by computer to aid communication. In addition, plans have been made for a charter air service to transport personnel to and from northern Virginia and Blacksburg.
Initially, the equine center will provide patient housing for 30 horses and facilities for examination and special procedures, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, intensive care, radiology, physical therapy, and pathology. There will be a general reception area, a medical records section, and other administrative offices. In addition, there will be a pharmacy, seminar rooms, and a library.
