From the text:
In the autumn of 1989, a company called Hazleton Research Products was using a one-story building in the office park as a monkey house. Hazleton Research Products is a division of Corning, Inc. Corning's Hazleton unit is involved with the importation and sale of laboratory
animals. The Hazleton monkey house was known as the Reston Primate Quarantine Unit.
The purpose of the monkey house is to quarantine the imported primates and make sure they are free from disease and infection.
