Throughout the nation, there is a need to improve or replace outdated and unsafe animal shelters. Unfortunately, many communities have little funding to do this. InTracy, Calif., the new Tracy Animal Shelter replaced an outdated shelter, and is designed around shelter medicine best practices. Completed in March 2015, the Tracy Animal Shelter was designed by INDIGO | Hammond & Playle Architects LLP (Indigo), Davis, Calif. "The Tracy Animal Shelter example demonstrates that metal construction has an important role to play in providing affordable new shelters, which when designed using the latest in shelter medicine best practices, can dramatically improve the care of animals in the United States," says Candace Harrison, AIA, project architect at Indigo.
