 Small animal expansion

Based on 20 years of experience of working in our community, combined with the changing demands society is making of veterinary medicine, we aimed to design a Small Animal Hospital capable of accommodating a caseload of 30,000 patients annually. This means we need to expand current programs and services as well as add new facilities. We envision:

Primary Care Clinic

Offering the highest quality of pet care while providing learning opportunities for future veterinarians

Emergency Clinic

When care is needed right now, the personnel and facilities are ready

Clinical Research Center

To keep striving for new and better solutions to animal health problems

Special Species Clinic

Serving unusual pets such as birds, reptiles, or small mammals

Distance Learning and Education Center

Maintaining the veterinarian’s knowledge long after they finish school

Computerized Clinical Classrooms

Bringing the latest learning techniques to our students

Integrated Modern Imaging Facility

All the latest imaging modalities available to help diagnose your pet’s problem

Dentistry Suite

Beyond teeth cleaning, full mouth care to keep pets comfortable and healthy

Some of these are long overdue accommodations for exciting new programs that we have already established in cramped and inadequate spaces, while others can only be started when this new hospital becomes a reality. It’s also crucial that we leave space for growth and development of new ideas and programs that are beyond our current vision, but that will be critical in our future.

Through architectural design features, we intend this building to inspire both those who will work there, and those who will come seeking our help. We envision a facility that emphasizes the quality of our program and our staff.
