Commission of Dr Alan Schwartz is new construction.  Previously developed site required environmental sampling, monitoring and removal of an underground petroleum tank.  Zoning relief was successfully achieved for a modified parking total. Site plan approval, soil testing, civil engineer and legal consultants coordination provided.  Site development included storm water outflow to existing stream, domestic water supplies, electric underground service, parking for 25 vehicles.  Qualified for Economic Empire Zone tax incentives.

Veterinary programming and design includes three exam rooms, central treatment area, special isolation recovery rooms, boarding facilities for cats and dogs, retail sales and grooming areas.  Mechanical design isolates three distinct zones - public/office, treatment/medical and boarding.  
Exquisite hand-painted murals featuring greenery, kittens, dogs, birds and such grace exam reception room walls.   Reception desk was artist faux grained.
