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.
