Research mice leaving NYC for suburbs
Things are getting so expensive in Manhattan that even the rodents are moving to the suburbs.
A group of 35 hospitals and medical schools in the New York metropolitan area have decided to relocate their research mouse-breeding and mouse-holding operations in a new building in Yonkers. The building could eventually hold up to 80,000 cages — and 400,000 mice.
The Yonkers facility would be the first multi-institutional “mouse house” in the country, said Maria Mitchell, president of the Academic Medicine Development Co., which is coordinating the house.
“Research mice don’t have to live in prime Manhattan real estate,” Mitchell said. “Hospitals and medical schools can do better things with that space.”
