Outside, pooches have an agility yard, two play yards, three guest play yards and two splash pools. A key design element was including dog runs throughout the space, all designed to showcase each dog, reduce stress and eliminate visibility with other nearby animals.

The air handling unit features an evaporative cooling air-conditioning system. This was key to maintaining a controlled environment, which is vital to animal health and well-being.

Navigating the electrical rough-in proved tricky because it involved intricate wiring within the walls and masonry structures. Extensive underground plumbing and trench work was essential for the shelter’s functionality as well in order to ensure proper drainage and sanitation for the animals.

To install the extensive amount of epoxy flooring throughout the facility, the project team used advanced grinding techniques and maintained a thorough quality-control process to ensure installation quality.
