2019 Civic/Assembly national award - excellence El Cajon Animal Shelter

The first design-build project for the City of El Cajon turned into a great success for the city and the El Cajon Animal Shelter. By implementing design-build, the City of El Cajon leveraged early contractor feedback by receiving pricing at every design milestone. This allowed the team to build a unique facility that reflects the identity of the animal shelter and its goals. A ‘Fear-Free’ design goal meant that each decision was made to provide maximum benefit for the animals that would be visiting, and housed in, the shelter. By embracing the project-first mentality, the team was able to come together and create a model that the city will look to for future design-build projects.
