Working with benefactor Susan Allen and the Longmont Humane Society, Pokorny designed a new 42,000 s.f. facility for this Colorado community with rapidly increasing animal care needs. The building includes a number of innovative design features that represent the best for animals and for the adoptive parent prospects as well. Priority is given to the animal environment and the actual adoption experience. Animals that are kept in high quality spaces will more readily exhibit the normalized behaviors that improve their adoptability. As Design Architect, Pokorny enlisted the industry leading firm Animal Arts, Boulder Architects nationally recognized for their expertise in animal facility design, who joined the process in Design Development and completed Construction Documents for the project.
