Stevens Construction completes

Gulf Coast Humane Society veterinary clinic

Stevens Construction has completed construction of a new veterinary clinic for the Gulf Coast Humane Society, located at 2025 Arcadia St. in Fort Myers, announced Daniel Adams, Stevens Construction executive vice president and partner.

The 10,000-square-foot veterinary clinic serves as a critical resource for wellness services, spay/neuter surgeries, dental care and medical treatment for pet owners as well as shelter pets who require medical care before they can be adopted. 

Equipped with the latest veterinary technology, the medical center houses eight exam rooms and dedicated areas for veterinary specialists, surgical procedures and more.

Completed on budget and as scheduled in 10 months, the clinic increases the organization’s ability to support rescue partners across the state that lack the resources to provide medical care before placing animals for adoption.

With offices in Fort Myers and Orlando, Fla., Stevens Construction specializes in providing construction management, general contracting and consulting services to clients and design professionals. Other services include site and design team selection, budgeting, project scheduling, permitting, cost and quality control and warranty service. The company builds healthcare, commercial and hospitality facilities. For information, visit www.stevensbuilds.com or call 239-936-9006.
