Project Overview

This commercial renovation and expansion project transformed an existing veterinary facility in New Albany, Indiana into a modern, higher-capacity medical environment for animal care. The scope included the renovation of an existing 1,500-square-foot space and the new construction of an additional 2,250 square feet, bringing the total facility footprint to 3,750 square feet.

The expansion allowed the client to significantly increase daily patient volume while improving internal workflow efficiency for staff and medical professionals.

Scope highlights included:

• Renovation of existing 1,500 SF veterinary space
• New construction of 2,250 SF addition
• Addition of four new exam rooms
• Expanded surgical suite and treatment areas
• Updated interior layout optimized for veterinary workflow

This buildout was designed specifically to enhance the functionality required for modern veterinary medicine — including space for exams, surgical procedures, recovery, and administrative operations.

Key Challenges & Solutions

Primary challenges included:

• A compressed timeline that required tight scheduling and coordination
• Operating within a residentially adjacent zone, requiring sensitivity to noise, traffic, and neighborhood impact

Solutions delivered:

• Strategic planning and real-time coordination with vendors, subcontractors, and internal teams to keep the project moving on schedule
• Transparent communication with the property owners and neighboring residents regarding construction timelines, traffic flow, and working hours
• Efficient sequencing of trades to limit downtime and prevent overlap delays

Today, Latimer Animal Hospital is able to serve more patients, more efficiently, and more compassionately than ever before. With added exam rooms and expanded surgical space, the team can focus on what truly matters — keeping pets healthy and families at ease.

It’s a better experience for everyone who walks through the door—on two legs or four.
