Animal Facilities
At PGAL, we recognize that creating animal care environments is not simply a matter of function, but a responsibility to enhance the health, safety, and dignity of the animals, the staff who care for them, and the communities they serve.
Designing these spaces presents a unique challenge, requiring a careful balance of animal welfare, staff efficiency, and public access. Our process focuses on creating low-stress environments through clear circulation, reduced noise, and natural light. These elements support wellness, help prevent disease, and promote positive behavior. Carefully selected materials and subtle visual cues reinforce comfort and safety, fostering settings where animals can recover and people feel welcome. The result is a space that is practical, compassionate, and designed for long-term community impact.
Our designers bring extensive experience in creating facilities that support the safe intake, compassionate care, and successful adoption of companion animals, while also meeting the operational needs of shelter staff and public users.
Controlled ventilation, acoustic management, and intuitive layout contribute to a calmer, more humane setting for animals, while also improving the experience for staff and visitors.
