The Animal Cardiology Center, a veterinary practice specializing in cardiology care for pets, has been nominated for the CCR Project Profile Awards. Located in Brooklyn, NY, the clinic underwent a renovation by McAlpine Contracting, with design by FCA and engineering by Loring Engineering. The 3,100-square foot interior fit-out project transformed the space in the DUMBO neighborhood, featuring a welcoming lobby, four spacious exam rooms, a treatment area with advanced equipment, and specialized rooms for diagnostic procedures and staff facilities.   

One of the notable challenges faced during construction was the installation of plumbing and elevation of the floor slab. McAlpine overcame this hurdle by channeling the existing concrete slab, creating depressions for new piping, and raising the floor with insulation and a concrete layer to meet code requirements. The project, with a budget of $1.4 million, showcases exceptional design and construction expertise.   

The Animal Cardiology Clinic stands as a testament to modern and efficient veterinary design, providing a dedicated space for delivering specialized care to dogs and cats. Its nomination for the CCR Project Profile Awards recognizes its excellence in creating an exemplary facility for pet healthcare.
