The County of Santa Clara Animal Care and Control Department needed to replace their makeshift former residence into an adequate home for the area’s needy animals. We created the County’s new Animal Services Center campus with state-of-the-art animal care functions in a park-like setting, providing innovative and sustainable building systems and amenities in the 24/7 facility. The new Animal Services Center has capacity for 54 dogs and 90 cats, with spaces for other types of animals including rabbits, horses, and goats. To house and showcase larger animals, a barn is sited along the main building frontage, increasing visibility.
Taking a distinct departure from traditional shelter design, dog kennels are organized around a central landscaped courtyard named “The Park”. Together with surrounding “Get Acquainted” pods, the experience offers a bright and open area to meet and greet potential pets in a natural park environment.
In addition to animal adoption, the County is taking a proactive approach to overpopulation by educating the public on reducing the number of animals ending up at the Animal Services Center through the use of the public surgery suite, located inside the facility’s clinic.
Another key solution the Animal Services Center provides is a large Community Center facility. Not only will public animal-specific events be held there, but other County agencies can utilize the assembly space for conferences and gatherings up to 150 occupants—a resource they previously lacked.
The County of Santa Clara Animal Services Center was designed to achieve LEED Silver certification.
