We provide engineering design and consulting services for animal shelters, aquariums and zoos, animal research and care facilities, dairies, vivarium, hospitals, educational facilities and more.

​​We are at the forefront of the development of practices for the design of spaces for the care and husbandry of animals.  Our work for the University of California at Davis has allowed us to work with leading Veterinarians to understand and address odor and infection control issues.  We have also had the privilege of working with leading firms in the design of spaces for the care and shelter of animals.
