dvm360® hosts the 2022 Hospital Design360® Competition

dvm360^®, the No. 1 multimedia platform in the animal health industry, is accepting entries for best-in-class architectural design recognition for veterinary facilities and animal shelters now through May 15, 2022.

"Every year, we look forward to showcasing how architectural design elevates veterinary medicine from improving patient care, compassion fatigue and wellness, safety, overall operations, and hospital growth and revenue," said Mike Hennessy Jr, president and CEO of MJH Life Sciences™, the parent company of dvm360^®.

All animal health veterinary clinics, practices, hospitals, and shelters including those owned by publicly traded corporations, and those funded by foundations, government agencies and nonprofit organizations in the United States and its territories are encouraged to enter their facility design project. New builds and renovation projects must have been completed between January 1, 2016, and December 30, 2021, to qualify. Check out eligibility here.

Entries will be independently judged by a selection committee of veterinary hospital design architects and veterinary professionals based on the following best practice criteria:

• design to meet best practices for practicing medicine
• design for efficiency of space usage while also protecting the wellbeing and safety of people and animals
• innovation in architectural design and workflow
• setting a high standard for client and patient care
• overcoming obstacles to build the project
• bridging an effective design to today's technology

Two grand prize winners will be selected 1 in each of 2 categories: facility design projects under 8,000 square feet, and those over 8,000 square feet. Up to 5 merit award winners will also be selected.

"By hosting the Hospital Design360® competition, we're not only celebrating best-in-class facility design in the veterinary industry, but also bringing awareness about how architectural design positively impacts patient care," said Adam Christman, DVM, MBA, and chief veterinary officer, dvm360®.
