Animal shelters are more than buildings—they are places where families grow, and where animals find their people and forever homes. These shelters serve their communities well beyond adoption, offering healthcare, training, animal food pantries, and even acting as community hubs.

Because of their unique role, shelters require specialized designs to address odor and disease control, making mechanical and plumbing systems essential. For over a decade, 20/20 Engineering has partnered with shelter organizations to develop standards that protect animals and humans alike. Together, we’ve created clean, welcoming environments that promote healthier pets and more successful adoptions.

Our animal shelter design specialties include: isolation animal housing, "mutternity" and "catternity" housing, ringworm housing, shelter healthcare spaces, public animal hospitals, staff breakrooms, geothermal HVAC, and plumbing design.
