EAGLE ROCK VETERINARY CLINIC
The Eagle Rock Veterinary Clinic in Idaho Falls, Idaho, was developed as a tenant improvement project that transformed a blank commercial space into a modern, compassionate environment for animal care. The design focused on creating a welcoming, efficient, and low-stress experience for pets, their owners, and the veterinary team alike. Clear circulation, sound control, and natural lighting strategies were central to the layout—minimizing anxiety for animals and improving comfort for clients and staff. Separate entrances and exam zones for help reduce stress and noise, while durable, easy-to-clean materials maintain a hygienic environment without sacrificing warmth or aesthetic appeal.
Wellness concepts were thoughtfully integrated throughout the clinic, prioritizing both animal well-being and staff health. Access to daylight, an earthy color palette, and biophilic design elements foster a sense of calm and connection to nature. Air quality and temperature control systems were designed for comfort and safety, while flexible treatment and recovery areas support a variety of procedures and care levels. The overall environment encourages healing and trust—balancing clinical precision with the comfort and reassurance that animals and their owners deserve.
