dvm360® is proud to share that the 2024 Hospital Design360™ Competition is officially underway. Each year, dvm360 invites hospitals from across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Guam, to enter the contest to highlight the features of their hospital that makes them unique through design, financial value, community engagement, and wellness.
"dvm360 is thrilled every year to highlight the architectural designs within hospitals and clinics that are uplifting veterinary medicine for patients, clients, and staff. By highlighting both larger and smaller hospitals, we’re showing how different size spaces are used to make a difference for pets and the people who care for them. Innovation and visual appeal can come in any size," John Hydrusko, Vice President of Sales at dvm360.
The contest this year will honor 3 grand prize winners and up to 5 merit winners, depending on the number of entries the contest receives. The categories for the contest include hospitals 0-3500 square feet, 3500-800 square feet, and over 8000 square feet. Submissions must include a complete color photo tour of the hospital inside and out for the judges to use when deciding on the winners. For animal shelters that are entering the contest, the photos should be limited to veterinary areas within the facility. All entries also require a site plan for the hospital and floor plan.
