The $1.7-million Cleveland Park Animal Hospital near downtown Greenville, S.C., replaced the existing 1950s-era clinic at the same location. The building features dedicated space for small animal examination, treatment, surgery, grooming and boarding, and an equine treatment area, as well as multiple laboratories, a pharmacy, an employee breakroom, and management offices. Among the facility’s design attributes is special acoustical treatment in the dog boarding and main reception areas.
Design-builder Moss and Associates recommended relocating the practice and its associated medical equipment to 3,000 sq ft of temporary modular facilities on site, rather than use a phased remodeling approach as originally planned, resulting in a cost savings of nearly $100,000 and a schedule reduction of more than one month. The plan allowed for easier abatement of asbestos and lead paint.
