Designing an aesthetically pleasing, inviting and comfortable environment which retains the hygienic standards necessary for a busy veterinary hospital is no easy task. Luckily we have over 30+ years of experience doing exactly that. Some of the unique aspects of designing a veterinary facility is combining all the necessary factors for comfort and hygiene, not just for us but also for a furry family members. At The Princeton Companies we have created many aesthetically stunning veterinary facilities, with the perfect combination of comfort and cleanliness. But what exactly does that entail?
Ease of Access and Cleaning
Anyone who has had a pet knows that oftentimes a visit to the vet isn’t usually a positive sign, however now veterinary facilities play many roles in your pet’s healthcare. They provide kennels for boarding, daycare for our long work days along with healthcare facilities for those sick days. One of the most important factors in designing a veterinary facility is allowing for ease of access and ease of cleaning. You never know when a pet may need to be switched into a larger kennel, when cats may be fully booked or when you may need to house a pet pig and having a large, well-lit workspace that allows for this flexibility in layout is one of many considerations we keep in mind when designing your facility space.
Comfort
A trip to the vet can be stressful, both for animals and humans alike. When designing a veterinary facility these factors should be weighed to create a solution that will both be welcoming to the human visitors and safe and as stress-free as possible for the animal visitors. Creating a flow from entrance to exam rooms, kennels and beyond, to checkout and exit is important. Not only to minimize stress on our pets but also to aide the hardworking staff, minimize excessive interactions between possibly ill animals and also providing quiet and private spaces for the comfort of animals and humans alike.
