A Proven Design Process for Veterinarian

Veterinary offices require a unique blend of clinical functionality, pet-friendly design, and owner comfort. Our specialized design process ensures every space—from exam rooms to surgical suites to waiting areas—is built for seamless operations and an exceptional client experience.

Initial Consultation & Proposal

  • Complimentary 30-minute consultation to discuss your veterinary office’s specific needs, including patient volume, specialty services, and branding goals.
  • We assess key operational considerations:
    • High-traffic flow management to minimize pet and owner stress.
    • Separation of noisy and quiet zones to create a calming atmosphere.
    • Staff workflow efficiency in treatment areas and surgical suites.
  • You’ll receive a customized proposal that includes:
    • Mood boards and inspiration photos tailored to your veterinary clinic’s atmosphere (modern, homey, high-tech, or spa-like wellness).
    • A preliminary project scope covering exam rooms, treatment areas, reception flow, and specialized spaces (e.g., boarding, grooming, isolation rooms).
    • Estimated costs based on the clinic’s size, level of customization, and long-term operational needs.
  • Once you're ready to move forward, simply e-sign the proposal and submit a deposit to begin.

Discovery
and Onboarding

Every veterinary office has unique requirements, from emergency care facilities to specialty animal hospitals. During our 90-minute onboarding session, we explore:

  • Client & Patient Experience: How do you want pet owners and their animals to feel when they enter? We create soothing, welcoming environments that ease anxiety and build trust.
  • Efficient Check-In & Waiting Areas:
    • Separate waiting zones for dogs, cats, and exotic pets to reduce stress.
    • Comfortable seating arrangements for owners during longer visits.
    • Easy self-check-in kiosks and digital signage for a seamless process.
  • Optimized Exam Rooms & Treatment Areas:
    • Spacious, easy-to-clean surfaces that withstand daily wear.
    • Ergonomic exam tables and storage solutions for quick access to tools.
    • Soft, non-slip flooring to keep pets calm and prevent accidents.
  • Surgical & Imaging Suites: If your practice includes advanced care, we design:
    • Sterile, well-lit environments for precision and safety.
    • Dedicated prep and recovery areas to streamline procedures.
    • Lead-lined imaging rooms for X-ray, ultrasound, and CT scan technology.
  • Staff Workflow & Comfort: A veterinary practice is only as good as its team’s ability to function efficiently. We focus on:
    • Accessible supply storage near key workstations.
    • Break rooms and private offices for staff downtime.
    • Integrated IT and record-keeping stations for quick patient file access.

Our Executive Vision Director then develops a comprehensive design brief, aligning your clinic’s vision, scope, timeline, and budget before moving forward.

Research & Schematic Design

We take a research-driven approach to vet clinic design, ensuring each space promotes workflow efficiency, pet comfort, and long-term durability.

  • Optimized Layout for Patient & Staff Flow:
    • Strategic exam room placement near the waiting area for fast turnover.
    • Dedicated isolation and recovery spaces for sick or post-surgery animals.
    • Intuitive pathways for pets, owners, and staff to prevent congestion.
  • Stress-Reducing Design for Pets:
    • Acoustic treatments to minimize barking and loud noises.
    • Natural light integration to create a calming atmosphere.
    • Gentle, non-reflective surfaces that prevent visual overstimulation.
  • Durable, Easy-to-Sanitize Materials: Veterinary spaces need tough, antimicrobial materials that withstand wear, moisture, and mess:
    • Seamless epoxy flooring for easy cleaning.
    • Non-porous counters that resist bacteria growth.
    • Scratch-resistant wall panels to handle high-anxiety pets.
  • Technology-Integrated Workstations:
    • Cloud-based patient management systems for fast, paperless check-ins.
    • Built-in charging stations for mobile veterinary equipment.
    • Smart lighting solutions to enhance surgical precision.

Once we finalize these details, we present floor plans and schematic designs for approval.
