Central Animal Hospital
Project Summary
Dr. Keith and Dr. Smith, like many veterinary clinic owners, had outgrown their original building footprint. While Central Animal Hospital was already operating at full capacity only after 3 years in their building, its prime location limited opportunity for expansion right on the existing property. The solutions needed to be very creative in order to support growth within the lot constraints.
Our approach
Our goal was to find creative solutions that would preserve as much of the existing structure as possible while doubling the original 2,615 sq. ft. footprint. The planned expansion wrapped around the original building and added a second storey. To ensure the clinic could continue operating during the renovation period, we facilitated the implementation of temporary facilities and moved the entire clinic out of their space. This allowed daily activities to proceed with minimal disruption, helping to maintain both client service and business continuity while fast tracking the construction.
Key features of the new layout include:
- A separate waiting area for anxious pets
- Twice the number of exam rooms
- A new surgery suite and a double dentistry suite
- A designated pharmacy area
- A larger retail space
- A dedicated treatment room distinct from the induction area.
Render VS Real
Using our 3D visualization tools, we were able to validate every practical element of the layout before construction began—ensuring optimal flow, function, and comfort. The final result was so true to the renderings, it was hard to tell where the plans ended and reality began.
Feedback
The renovation has brought significant improvements to the clinic’s day-to-day operations. The increased space has enhanced workflow efficiency, reduced congestion, and contributed to a more organized environment. The redesigned layout has also created a noticeably calmer atmosphere for both pets and their owners. Staff feel better supported in their roles, and clients have responded positively to the changes in both comfort and service quality. The outdoor staff patio on the second floor overlooking the mountain is also a great addition to allow Central Animal
