New Facility
The SPCA features a unique combination of elements that provide a pleasant atmosphere for visitors and staff, and a healthy environment for animals. The design creates a playful appearance for the facility in order to enhance the experience for all involved. To simplify navigation for visitors, the shelter features five zoned areas, including: the entrance and auditorium; adoption; lost and found; animal services; and administration. Each area is separated by a set of transverse corridors. Administrative offices are placed adjacent to the auditorium and away from the animal areas to provide a quiet work area, as well as to improve public access and services.
