SHKS Architects worked with the City of Seattle and the Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation to renovate the current shelter in the Interbay neighborhood while preparing a master plan to guide future development. The current facility was originally designed and built in the early 1980’s, acting as the first purpose built shelter for the City of Seattle Animal Control. The master plan addresses the growth that the Seattle Animal Shelter expects to experience in the next twenty years, and it establishes a path for the City of Seattle and Animal Shelter staff to identify the space requirements needed to execute their Business Plan.
We completed a renovation of the cat and critter housing areas to meet current U.S. Humane Society standards for size while adding additional ventilation and thermal comfort to create a healthier environment. New, larger cat housing and roaming rooms will create a more comfortable and playful environment for the animals while they wait for permanent homes.

Renovations to the dog kennel area improved overall appearance and acoustics. Harsh chain linked fencing was replaced with clear and frosted glass, creating a more welcoming environment for both dogs and visitors.
