Notice Details

This Project consists of the construction of a new Animal Care Center to serve the borough of Brooklyn. The existing Brooklyn Animal Care Center (BACC) is an aged and repurposed structure of inadequate space and design to efficiently support the current operational requirements. The existing animals and staff will be relocated to other Animal Care Centers, and the existing facility will be demolished. A new two-story animal-centric building with administration offices will be built on the site. A new through parking lot will be built. The facility will host various species, a medical suite, a training room, and offices to support BACC functions. A pergola will extend from the second floor to provide outdoor dog runs. A robust 100% fresh air mechanical system, high efficiency lighting, and a generator that can power the entire facility in case of a power outage will serve the building. The roughly 23,900 square foot building will have a solar array and permeable pavers, among other sustainable initiatives. Landscaping and site design include new street trees and sidewalks, planters and trees at the parking lot and entrance. The new building will be served by new water, gas and electrical service. Utilities to the new facilities must be maintained 24/7 while inhabited.
