Animal Facility Room Reservation System

Overview of Services

This room management system is designed to help optimize resources for researchers and LAS staff. This would allow for greater efficiency in addition to avoiding potential crowding in animal rooms.

If you are the first time user, please sign up by clicking the “Register” button and use your TJU credentials to proceed.

To view and reserve available workspace, please go to “Schedule Equipment’ tab. Individuals may view and reserve time in a given workstation in their animal housing room.

Please, NOTE: The suggested hours of the animal facility will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. That is when staff is present and animal rooms are in the light phase of their 12:12h cycle.

Each individual researcher should not sign up for more than a total of 2 hours in one day. This restriction may be relaxed once the system is live and reviewed.

If you have difficulty navigating the system, please contact Dr. Phil LaTourette, DVM, DACLAM at phil.latourette@jefferson.edu
