The Challenge
The county’s aging animal control facility had far outlived its usefulness, forcing staff and animals into a cramped 5,000-square-foot building with poor ventilation, overcrowded conditions, and limited spaces for treatment, quarantine, and adoptions. Employees who dedicated their days to caring for animals worked in an environment described as dark and uncomfortable, while the facility struggled to meet the community’s growing needs. Tazewell County needed a modern, compassionate space that would improve animal welfare, support its staff, and provide room for future services.
KEDbluestone Solution
We provided MEP/T engineering services for a new 10,000-square-foot animal control facility designed to create a healthier, safer, and more welcoming environment for both people and animals. The facility features three separate ventilation systems for employee areas, quarantined animals, and non-quarantined animals, along with infrastructure supporting veterinary services, expanded housing for up to 95 dogs and 35 cats, and thoughtfully designed care and adoption spaces. Through innovative building systems and careful coordination, we helped deliver a future-ready facility that elevates the standard of care while giving dedicated staff a workplace they are proud to call their own.
