The University of Florida opened the doors to its new $58 million Small Animal Hospital on Nov. 1. The 100,000-square-foot hospital triples existing space and will afford a more comfortable environment for patient care and teaching, according to college administrators. The new facility, in addition to larger treatment areas and more examination rooms, will include a linear accelerator, a cardiac catherization laboratory, isolation wards, a hemodialysis facility and an intensive care unit. To provide clients convenient drop-off access, the primary care veterinary practice shares a separate entrance with the hospital’s 24-hour emergency service. The Small Animal Hospital was designed by Atlanta-based FWAJDB Architects in partnership with Zeidler Partnership Architects. <Home> Related story: U of Florida Plans Grand Opening for Small Animal Hospital
