The contemporary, light-filled building is a fully operational animal adoption center and models best practices in the care of companion animals. Swatt Miers Architects worked with a great team, including Storyline Studio to design the entire guest experience, creating a one-of-a-kind meeting place for people and pets alike. The 30,000 sqft. PetSpace™ houses adoptable animals and facilitates their placement, educates the public on responsible adoption practices, and celebrates the human-animal bond. Visitors can connect with the PetSpace™ community in meaningful and collaborative ways using four unique interactive experiences.

Annenberg PetSpace is a pivot point for rescued dogs, cats and others to transition into new lives and a space to promote animal companionship. Human guests enter into a vaulted lobby, which includes two galleries and a gift shop. Up above on Wally’s Wall, a giant animatronic dog greets them as they proceed to the wall of interactive touch screens to learn about the animal guests. Upstairs, guests can also run on the human-sized hamster wheel while a giant cat toys with them from above. From Wally’s Wall, the space opens up into two turf play yards that provide an area for canine socialization.

In addition to indoor and outdoor play areas, human and animal guests meet in adoption rooms where skylights, interactive flat screens, and homey living room decor provide a cozy environment for them to get acquainted. Rooms for dogs also feature stainless-steel portholes so they can sniff their friends next door. Beyond the public areas, animal guests have many more amenities. This working hospital, therapy and recovery center serves traumatized animals and helps them heal through its surgery rooms, an x-ray room, a hydrotherapy treadmill, grooming rooms, relief rooms, isolation rooms, and a substantial food-prep area. Upstairs and down, temporary living spaces for animal guests are lit with natural light from rooftop skylights, and all dog rooms have epoxy-resin floors that slope to a flush drain and a spray-down system for easy cleaning.

作为LEED白金级别的项目，Annenberg宠物空间使用了多种健康的建筑组件，如低挥发性的有机化合物涂料、密封剂、粘合剂、以及专门从印度尼西亚回收回来的FSC柚木等。建筑师对空间内的机械、电路、水暖管道和防火设施系统（MEPF systems）、结构支撑构件和结构框架进行了高质量的升级，以便适应未来可能发生的功能需求。此外，整个空间都十分智能。触摸屏可以控制电子视窗，人们透过这些视窗来观察正在进行的手术、训练和物理治疗等活动，而在需要的时候，也可以通过触摸屏来将透明的视窗变为不透明的界面，以保护隐私；此外，整个空间中遍布着摄像头，这些摄像头会将宠物们的一切小动作记录下来，发送给它们的主人或者有缘人，以弥补有些人无法亲自陪伴自己宠物的遗憾。

As a LEED Platinum project, PetSpace uses many healthy building components, including low VOC paint, sealers and adhesives and FSC teak wood reclaimed from Indonesia. Substantial upgrades to the MEPF systems and the structural supports and framing were done to prepare the existing building for its new role. In addition, the entire building is smart. Touch screens control electrified viewing windows into surgery, grooming and physical therapy so that they can be switched from clear to frost when privacy is needed, and cameras throughout the space provide opportunities to stream the antics of the animal guests to people not able to meet them in person.
