Animal Welfare Nonprofit
VISIONING, MASTER PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
Guiding growth through a transformational urban vision centered around the human-animal bond
What started as a facilities assessment of the organization’s two campuses evolved into a larger campus plan. MKThink served as developer adviser, campus architect, and program manager. Informed by qualitative and quantitative insights, the project team applied a systems thinking approach to develop holistic strategies that fine-tune service delivery and integrate culture across locations and service domains including hospital, rescue, and prevention. The team designed the site to improve staff recruitment and retention, maximize revenue, and engage with the surrounding community.
