Little bit by little bit...

... the exterior is taking shape. The brick facing is lovely, isn't it?

Floor Plan

For those of you who enjoy deciphering floor plans, take a look. The back wall running along the top of the drawing corresponds to the east side of the building, which backs directly onto the neighbouring townhouse community. The patch of grass on the top left is, you guessed it, our outdoor exercise area.



The reception area runs along the front - notice the beautiful, large curved desk - and the main waiting area will be on the left, near the examination rooms. It's got a divider, in case dog people and cat people want to sit apart. There's even a secondary waiting area on the right side, for those pets need a bit more space. The surgical suite is at the top right, patient wards and radiology along the back, isolation ward nearest the back door and the treatment room in the centre of it all.

Plans, plans... and more plans...

Dr. Ray and our builder, Buzz, pore over electrical plans. (Note the Advil bottle in the top left, the pet clipper in the top right. Yep. That would be the dining room table.)

Exterior Walls Are Up!

We've got a roof over our heads now.





The three open areas in the center of this photo comprise the front of our unit.

Ourdoor exercise area

What does this look like to you?
If you said "grass," well, good!


But you're wrong.

It looks like grass, and it feels like grass, but it's completely synthetic. The New Improved Ellwood Park Animal Hospital will have a secure outdoor exercise area for our patients to enjoy fresh air, complete with a lawn that never needs cutting and will always be clean.
