NYC DDC Bronx Animal Care Center & Veterinary Clinic

Bronx, NY

ELLANA provided cost estimating services to Marvel Architects for the Design and Construction of a new 50,000 gross square foot Bronx Animal Care Center & Veterinary Clinic.

The ground-up new construction will house an Animal Care Center, Veterinary Clinic for the Care Center as well as a public Clinic for outpatient services, and a bird and wildlife rehabilitation center with educational programs.

The scope consists of three schemes, each addressing in a unique way the need to balance the introvert nature of an animal care facility with the need to be extroverted in order to attract visitors and educate future stewards of animal welfare. The program consists of Animal Housing Pods, Dental and Special Procedures rooms, Behavior and Training rooms, Public Entry and Reception, Adoption and Housing, Office and Administrative spaces, staff area, Food Preparation, Janitor and Storage spaces.
