Oakwood Hills Animal Hospital in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, found itself at a crossroads. With a rapidly growing patient base and outdated facilities, they needed to modernize and expand. However, closing their doors during renovations was not an option—they were dedicated to providing continuous care for their furry patients.

Understanding the urgency of the situation, we partnered with OHAH to create a plan that would allow them to expand their space by 6,000 sq ft and renovate their existing building. The goal was to enhance efficiency, functionality, and aesthetics, all without disrupting daily operations.

Our team kicked off the project by conducting a thorough assessment of the current layout and workflows. After collaborating closely with OHAH’s management, we developed a design that maximized space and incorporated modern elements.

To ensure minimal disruption, we broke the project into manageable phases. First, we began construction on the new wing, which included a large break room, conference room, and office spaces.

As the expansion progressed, we renovated the existing spaces. This included upgrading waiting areas, treatment rooms, and administrative offices, all designed to provide a seamless transition between the old and new sections.

Throughout the project, OHAH remained open, ensuring that their commitment to patient care was upheld. When the final phase concluded, OHAH celebrated a successful transition into their newly expanded and modernized facility.

The results were clear: the expansion effectively doubled OHAH’s operational space, allowing them to serve more clients while enhancing the experience for both staff and visitors. Post-completion feedback reflected a significant increase in client and employee satisfaction, with many praising the improved atmosphere and facilities.

This collaboration not only reinforced OHAH’s reputation as a leading veterinary provider but also demonstrated our commitment to understanding client needs and delivering exceptional results without compromising their operations. The successful renovation and expansion of Oakwood Hills Animal Hospital stand as a testament to the power of partnership and innovative project management.
