Armstrong Pet Hospital
-
Designing pet hospitals and clinics is now a specialty of the practice. The success we had with our first building has led to several projects – one of our favorites is the Armstrong Pet Hospital.
This ground-up project gave us the opportunity to incorporate natural light and color to make inspiring workspaces for the staff and a welcoming environment for patients and their families.
The tall central space, which runs through the center of the building, contains a reception area, treatment stations, and kennels. We incorporated high clerestory windows throughout which allow ample daylighting of the space and avoid glare. Lower-level windows are selectively designed for view.
Rooms and alcoves, located at each side of the central volume, are designed as more intimate waiting areas, individual exam rooms and office space.
With all projects which include stringent technical requirements, we carefully integrate equipment, workflow, and operational needs with design and aesthetic intention.
