The Escondido Humane Society Animal Center, which opened July 26, 2003, is the first of a four building campus aimed at providing comprehensive animal care services. Our country-like setting, just before the grade to Valley Center, provides a peaceful atmosphere for both visitors and residents. The campus is situated on ten acres of land, next to the Mayflower Dog Park. Measuring 15,000 square feet, the shelter will accommodate more than 10,000 animals per year. Designed by BDA Architecture, whose expertise is animal care facilities, the buildings reflect a modern approach to housing animals. An open and spacious design optimizes animal interaction. Dogs will be housed in roomy kennels, while felines will occupy glass front condos. In addition, an advanced air circulation system will provide rapid odor elimination and fresh air regeneration. Our engineering firm, Schirmer Engineering, was selected for their impressive work on world-famous structures like the San Diego Zoo's primate facility. Our facility will employ a state-of-the-art fire sprinkler and detection system in addition to non-combustible construction material. A modest caretaker's apartment will also be included in the structure, allowing an employee to live on the grounds for safety monitoring. |
