What is a Vivarium Room? Latin for "place of life," a vivarium is an artificially built space to hold living organisms, whether they be plants or animals. That can include a range of functions and sizes, from a heated glass box for a bearded dragon on a teenager's desk, to the dolphinarium at Sea World. In the scientific community, vivarium rooms can also be called animal research facilities, and their purpose is to house animals and/or plants under conditions simulating a natural environment. These types of microecosystems are essential for observing life under certain conditions, or humanely housing experimental animals. Important Environmental Controls in Vivarium Rooms in Colorado Springs, CO There are a variety of environmental controls required to keep a vivarium room functioning properly. For your facility in Colorado Springs, CO, you'll need to ensure the controlled environment room can properly maintain: Lighting — Different life forms need different levels and types of lighting that meet their adapted needs. Reptiles, amphibians, and other animals warm themselves with outside heat sources like the sun, while some plants do best in the shade. Simulating the right light can take different types of bulbs, and your vivarium room may need a controller to replicate light and dark periods. Temperature and Humidity — Similarly, different animals and plants have adapted to different temperature and humidity levels. Heat can be provided through an HVAC system or special lamps. Air Quality — Ventilation is imperative for circulating air, staving off mold growth, preventing the growth of damaging bacteria, and equalizing the ventilation between the vivarium room and other areas of your facility. There are numerous exhaust fan options we can fit for your room, depending on your needs. An animal or plant's physical environment plays a fundamental role in their well-being. You need an impeccable vivarium room to guarantee not just the health of your specimens, but the validity of your Colorado Springs, CO research.
