March 26th – May 5th Construction Update 

This last month has been full of construction milestones for the Center’s new Administration and Small Animal Hospital Building. We have seen the first of the exterior walls installed on the entire building. Another milestone to celebrate: the roof trusses, which support the inner air and water ducts, have been installed on the Small Animal Hospital wing. Ducts and pipes are also being installed during this time, making our new building look like a gigantic puzzle being pieced together one portion at a time. Every day brings new shipments, new developments and new milestones. Thank you for being a part of this exciting process with us!

The roof trusses are installed and the duct work begun on the Small Animal Hospital.

In mid-April, the construction team installed a piece of the air ducts in the Small Animal Hospital. The metal straps hanging from the trusses keep the air ducts secured.

The first week of May brought a lot of developments inside the Small Animal Hospital. The construction team installed tubing which will be used for water, air, and anesthesia, alongside the previously constructed air ducts.

The tubing and ducts gets more complex every day!
