Building the Dream, Part 2

Drywall went up last week. I stopped in to take some pics and got to talk to some of the workers. Very nice guys! They are doing a great job for us.

Front entry

This is a shot of the area across from the front desk. We will have a small 'retail' area for food, treats, and probably other goodies. I believe this is where the client reception area will also be.

This a a (not-so-great) shot of the hallway area. The doorways on the left and right of the photo are to exam rooms. The doorway in the middle will be to the back part of the clinic. It's hard to tell in this shot, but that bright spot at the top of the photo is the skylight.

The previously mentioned skylight. 

Exam room

It's hard to get a good shot in there! My phone does a good job of taking pics, but the angle just isn't quite right. That little cubby space will be for a countertop and computer. I'm probably standing where the seats will be. 

Lab area

The lab will be in this corner. This whole area will be a nice, open space for working with the animals. Just out of the photo and to the right will be the surgery room. More photos of that to come in a later post.

Recovery

Doesn't look like much now, but this will be the recovery area where the staff will monitor the animals after procedures. I predict this room will be filled with caring and love for your pets!

I can't wait until my next trip downtown to see the new progress. I hope you'll check in to see, too!

Building the Dream

Construction is moving along! The first round of painting is scheduled to start after the holiday this week. SO EXCITED! Here's a look at what has been happening:

Before

This is a shot from the back of the clinic, obviously before anything has started. I love all the windows at the storefront. And that big bright square on the ceiling? That's an amazing skylight! I'm feeling very lucky to be able to work where I can see outside. And not just any outside, mind you. Mass Ave is just steps from our door! How cool is that?

Framing

And here is the same shot, but with the framing for the walls.  We will have a lobby with a small area for food, two exam rooms, an employee area with lockers, workstations in back, a lab, a surgery room, and a recovery area for pets out of surgery. Whew! Sounds like a lot. We will definitely be cozy.

Window decal

Our window decal. Not much needs to be said. LOVE the logo. Love the decal.













Our next post will be photos with drywall. Come back and visit us soon! -Lori
