The existing practice was leasing a small portion of the 6,300 square foot building and needed to expand their space.  After exploring options of purchasing land and constructing a free-standing building, the doctors decided to buy the existing building and expand within the space.  They continued operation while the construction was in progress.  The result was a 4,800 square foot hospital and a 1,500 square foot lease space for future expansion.  The hospital won a Veterinary Economics award for efficient operation.
