The Alpine Veterinary Hospital was constructed to replace an aging facility. The owners selected a metal building for its durability, longevity, and cost-effectiveness, resulting in a modern, efficient veterinary center that caters to both small and large animals.

The 8,528 sq. ft. main facility includes a spacious welcome and showroom area, ADA-compliant restrooms, a fully equipped operating room, and an X-ray suite. Animal care spaces feature built-in kennels with continuous floor drains, an isolation room, and separate rooms for dogs and cats, providing improved safety and comfort. Support and staff areas include a receiving room, multiple veterinarian offices, a kitchen, a conference room, and living quarters for traveling veterinarians.

A separate 2,600 sq. ft. large-animal barn expands the hospital’s capabilities with chutes and corrals, a high-traction floor for hooved animals, enclosed storage, skylights for natural light, and space for the clinic’s mobile animal ambulance.

The building features Behlen’s ZL-24® Standing Seam Roof System in Kynar Natural Evergreen, chosen for its exceptional durability and long-term value. Behlen’s ADP-1 exterior wall panel system, finished in Ash Gray, is accented with coordinating Natural Evergreen wainscot and trim for a clean, cohesive appearance.

This facility provides Alpine Veterinary Hospital with a durable, purpose-built environment that enhances animal care, staff efficiency, and long-term reliability.
