Building Design for Animals
Many of the technological advances that veterinary medicine has experienced have been driven by university veterinary school research. Keeping up to date with current advancements and anticipating future trends is critical for your design team. Stem cells, genetics, and expanding nuclear medicine options are all examples of technologies that need to be considered. The advancement in interaction between human and animal medical research — the One Health initiative and similar programs focusing on zoonotic pathogen and cross-species disease – is a major influence in today’s veterinary school design.
Along with on-campus projects, the need to expand a veterinary educational institution’s influence results in off-campus outreach facilities. BDA has been fortunate to have been selected as the designer and lead architect for such specialty and research veterinary hospitals for some of the nation's leading veterinary education institutions.
BDA also offers consulting services for the veterinary-specific portions of multi-curriculum facilities. Schools of Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Technician programs are part of our history.
