Part of the Veterinary Medicine Complex, Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health Auditorium (BIAH) provides the college with premier space for student lectures, seminars and campuswide events while recognizing a leading, global provider of animal health products.
The auditorium features 6,400 square feet of meeting space and allows for a private conference room configuration with tables in the back of the auditorium. The main auditorium has 220 seats, while the conference area expands capacity to 280 seats. Seating is designed to facilitate student-to-student discussion and collaboration. Microphones situated around the room promote interaction, and eight screens offer multiple viewing options for attendees.
The auditorium is part of an addition to Mosier Hall that includes an 1,800-square-foot atrium connected to Trotter Hall. An interior walkway overlooks the atrium and a four-panel mural that reflects the historic transition in the four mission areas of the college: exceptional teaching, impactful research, outstanding service and extraordinary graduates. The east-facing doors to the atrium serve as the new public entrance to the veterinary college.
History
Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health Auditorium opened its doors Oct. 1, 2021. The auditorium project is part of a strategic collaboration between the College of Veterinary Medicine and Boehringer Ingelheim that supports a strong pipeline of highly skilled veterinarians and continued innovation in the heart of the Kansas City Animal Health Corridor.
The collaboration has created opportunities for Boehringer Ingelheim employees to train and present to students, and allow for additional professional development and learning initiatives between Boehringer Ingelheim and the university. Boehringer Ingelheim will be able to host training sessions, symposiums and events in the auditorium that will expose veterinary students to emerging trends in animal health as well as potential career opportunities.
