Another $800,000 is needed — ur gently, say University officials — be fore construction can begin on the star-shaped center which would be located on about 20 acres of land be longing to the veterinary school. The center sports a special design to shelter several different varieties of animals as they undergo studies aimed at increasing basic knowledge about how they reproduce. A 10-foot fence surrounding the site recently was finished at a cost of almost $33,000, paid for by private donations, said veterinary resear chers heading the project — Drs. J.D. McCrady, Duane Kramer and Stephen Seager. Plans also call for donations to fi nance a 50-foot-tall aviary within the fenced area where exotic birds being studied by A&M researchers could enjoy considerable free flight, said Seager. Organizers hope enough money can be raised to incorporate a “teaching museum,” in which new re search findings quickly could be con veyed to students in veterinary or wildlife programs. The museum also might be open for tours periodically to increase public support for the project. In March 1984, the last of some 400 exotic animals donated to A&M by the John W. Mecom Jr. family of Houston were rounded up and trans ported to new homes in the Hill Country. Because of limited facilities in Col lege Station, A&M agreed to sell most of the animals to Houston engineer and exotic species rancher Lou Wa ters, with the stipulations that the animals be available to University re searchers either by visiting the Hill Country ranches or by bringing them to College Station when an appropri ate research facility and holding pens could be built.
