These three PDFs will show you how three hospital designers maximized every square inch available to fit everything into an odd or very small shape.
Integrative Pet Care in Chicago
This rehabilitation facility's patients often receive multiple treatments, so they need to move about the hospital easily. The triangular shape of the building lent itself perfectly to a circular-flow design, says co-owner Stacy Nigrelli.
Coal Mine Animal Hospital in Littleton, Colo.
This practice was designed to limit the overlap in client and staff traffic and minimize the total steps the doctors take in a day. The design team also worked to maintain sight and communication lines between spaces.
New York Animal Hospital in New York
This efficient facility packs three exam rooms and much more into the 1,500 available square feet. A big design driver: the owner's desire to make the most of the ample window frontage.
