Bronx Animal Care Center and Veterinary Clinic
PROJECT DETAILS
Progress on the Bronx Animal Care Center and Veterinary Clinic project is moving along nicely. On-site trailers were set up and the site was cleared and cut down to foundation elevation. We’ve driven piles and begun rebar for the pile caps and grade beams. By the end of 2023, we installed all of the foundation for the main structure of the project.
Starting in the first quarter of 2024, we installed underground power and data conduits. Eighty percent of underground plumbing and sewers were installed. We have started waterproofing the foundation and installation of foundation insulation, as well as trenched and backfilled for all of the underground MEP.
By the end of the third quarter of 2024, all structural steel, metal decking, and water detention was installed. Additionally, we began with sleeves and hangers for MEPs. The last quarter of 2024 includes the installation of drainage structures, piping, rebar, and concrete for the second floor and roof. In the first quarter of 2025, we will start installing exterior framing, masonry, and installation for MEP rough-ins.
On August 15, 2024, the Bronx Animal Care Center and Veterinary Clinic team held a topping out ceremony, featuring the signing and installation of the topping steel beam.
Through the DDC Design Excellence Program & the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), a new animal care facility will be constructed in the Bronx. The building will provide animal care for the community, adoption services & education on animal wellness. The design is intended to create a safe, healthy and humane environment for animals, staff, and visitors to the facility.
The new 50,000-square-foot building will include an animal care center and veterinary clinic, public outpatient veterinary clinic, wildlife rehabilitation and education center, administrative offices, and community room. The animal care center and public veterinary medical facilities will be operated by Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC).
The owner of the property requires BIM (Building Information Modeling) Level of Development 500, the highest level of BIM.
