Cornell University's College of Veterinary Medicine has signed a 10-year lease with Building and Land Technology (BLT) to establish Cornell University Veterinary Specialists (CUVS), a satellite referral and 24-hour emergency care hospital at 880 Canal St. in Stamford.
The hospital is expected to open in early 2011 and will employ 40 veterinarians and staff. CUVS will not engage in general practice and will be the largest and most comprehensive University-affiliated veterinary specialty/emergency and critical care, satellite facility established to date.
CUVS will be housed in a 20,000 square-foot building, as part of the $3 billion LEED-certified Harbor Point mixed-use urban redevelopment project, which also includes a new Fairway supermarket, 4,000 new luxury apartments, numerous office buildings, and the worldwide corporate headquarters for Starwood Hotels and Resorts.
