Founded more than 150 years ago, Oregon Humane Society has established itself as one of the country鈥檚 most respected animal welfare organizations. The New Road Ahead project required out-of-the-box thinking and the approach that 鈥渘o detail was too small to question.鈥� The project goal: to combine a comprehensive veterinary hospital for the community, a highly specialized animal crimes forensics center, an adaptable rescue space, and a spacious location that supports innovative approaches to animal behavior modification. The result is an innovative space that will take the organization through many generations of animal rescue and rehabilitation.

This 71,000-square-foot expansion en-compasses two buildings: one houses the Community Veterinary Hospital and the Animal Crimes Forensics Center, and the other houses the Behavior Modification and Rescue Center. The site is next to OHS鈥檚 existing shelter and expands the campus from one building to three.

The Behavior Modification and Rescue Center building (BRC) includes 68 new kennels for animals to rest. The BRC rehabilitation facilities also include four 鈥淩eal Life Rooms,鈥� which simulate human-occupied spaces with furniture, TVs and a toy bin. Also, a large training room offers a staircase that helps teach dogs how to go up landings and to walk on leashes.

The Animal Crimes Forensics Center is only the second of its kind in the United States, supporting investigations for criminal cases in a science-based facility that may be used in animal abuse cases or trials.

Throughout each phase of the process, the team viewed things through the lens of the animals. For example, polished concrete mockups were compared to determine which one was the most subtle, as to calm the most skittish animals. Fiberglass doors and wall paneling were used throughout because it can withstand animal wear and tear. Acoustic panels were installed to dampen noise, and inverted truss design allowed for high-clerestory windows that funneled natural light into rescue pods while dispersing sound.
