The 4,200 square feet veterinary facility is an energy efficient building with low impact on the environment. The space houses a two-doctor practice providing primary care for animals.
The green building uses geothermal heat as the primary heating/cooling source.
Water harvesting tanks are located under the parking area to collect rainwater for irrigation and other non-potable water needs.
Water that runs off the parking area will be cleaned by a storm water cleaning device. Plants and trees used in landscaping are of indigenous genes to decrease energy demands.
The roof and walls of the building are designed to promote lower heating and cooling demands, and high-efficiency insulation is made from recycled materials.
Reclaimed wood has been used wherever possible. Windows are designed to take advantage of the natural light in order to decrease electrical needs.
Adhesive products used inside the building have low or no volatile gas emissions and flooring was chosen based upon low VOC emissions.
The animal clinic is run by veterinarian Janisse Cailles and her husband, Glenn Likus, and is located on the corner of Route 523 and Felmley Road.
