The heart of the College of Veterinary Medicine
The Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health Auditorium has become the heart of K-State’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Affectionately known as the BI auditorium, the space is used not only to educate and shape future animal health professionals but also as a collective home for social, industry and alumni gatherings. From hosting countless research days and recruitment events to a celebration of life for a beloved faculty member, the BIAH auditorium is an integral part of college life.
We are grateful for our partnership with BIAH as we work together to advance veterinary medicine, food safety, public health and protecting the environment.
The BIAH auditorium is the largest available space for collective college and also the home for all the lectures of the third-year class daily. Most prominently, the atrium area has become what I refer to as the “lifeblood” of the College, an essential space for social and alumni events. Today it is an indispensable asset for communication and social interactions among a faculty and student body who are more focused than ever on well-being maintenance and community.”
Dr. Jim Roush, Associate Dean of Academic Programs and Student Success
The BI Atrium and Auditorium is the front door of the college. Because of its size and accessibility, we can now host meetings and events for the KVMA, KBVE, and non-profit, animal-related organizations. The BI-branded footprints into the auditorium are enjoyed by students and visitors. During in-person interviews this January, the quality and utility of the space markedly enhanced our recruitment efforts. Simply put, this space has changed our lives!”
