South County Animal Services Center

XL Construction is building “the most advanced animal care facility in the country,” utilizing innovative methods for advanced disease control including zoned air flow, trench drain and chemical washdown systems, and customized durable materials. The new facility will enable the County to handle specialty surgeries, conduct livestock rehabilitation, promote adaptions and maintain a 94% live-release rate, one of California’s highest scores. Prominent interior glass walls and a central courtyard in the state-of-the-art 37,000 s.f. veterinary center showcase rehabbing animals and community engagement spaces. A barn, exercise yards, and surrounding park aid the life-saving mission of this 4.5-acre leading-edge campus, delivered using CM-at-Risk and designed for LEED Silver certification.
