Veterinary Building and Clinic Design

Veterinary building design is the architectural process of creating a functional, safe, efficient and welcoming environment for the provision of animal health services.

Agrarian has provided veterinary building and clinic design for over 20 years. Over the course of our extensive experience in veterinary building design, we have experienced all the veterinary world has to offer. We have designed projects of all different sizes and requirements, from dual-purpose veterinary first opinion and referral hospitals to small village veterinary buildings.

Our many years of experience with small veterinary building design have helped us understand what it takes to run a small practice and how there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to the design process. Whereas our work with larger projects has proven that we can provide cost-efficient and innovative ways to undertake these grander design projects. No matter the size, Agrarian will listen and communicate regularly to make sure all stakeholders are fully satisfied in every step of the process.

Veterinary Pharmacy Design

Veterinary pharmacy design is the process of creating an area of any size that can provide a space for the storage and dispensing of medication and other animal health care provisions.

Agrarian has extensive experience in providing pharmacy design for all shapes and sizes. Our goal when designing pharmaceutical spaces is to achieve a high level of safety and efficiency in both cost and operation, whilst adhering to all the relevant regulations and compliance laws.

We have provided pharmacy designs for small veterinary buildings as well as pharmacy designs for larger dispensary facilities. Every project is different and may require more specialised pharmacy design features, for example, enhanced biosecurity for more exotic medication and antivirals/venoms, or increased amounts of refrigerated storage or simply adapting to the different local regulations that some clients require. We also recommend that the temperature in a pharmacy is controlled, usually mechanically, to ensure the medications stored do not spoil, helping to keep costs down. Our precise knowledge and experience can help overcome any challenge faced when designing a pharmacy, to ensure the PSS is met.

Agricultural Construction Company

Agricultural construction has changed over the years as machines are getting larger, whilst space is becoming scarcer. The process of agricultural building design is how to produce the most cost-effective way to store, sort or manage machinery, livestock or farming goods and produce. Agrarian takes great pride in providing agricultural building designs that can last. This means we work closely with our clients to determine what works best for their current needs, whilst also providing guidance on ways that can provide longevity and flexibility through innovative and modern ideas, whilst keeping the core elements of agricultural building design. Our experience has covered the storage for all types of agricultural machinery as well as a wide variety of livestock like cows, sheep, pigs and horses.

Why Choose Agrarian Veterinary Architecture?

Agrarian was first established in October 2000. We started with residential projects. Over time our knowledge and experience grew. We now offer services in areas such as Equestrian, Commercial, Veterinary and many more. Agrarian is committed to offering the best service available and will work closely with clients and developers to ensure an efficient, seamless and desirable outcome.

From small animal clinics and referral hospitals to livestock barns and equestrian arenas, we design and deliver facilities built around the animals, workflows, and people that use them.
Briefing, design, costing, planning, building control, on-site delivery, and project and construction management all sit under one roof. Making it that much easier to go from concept to completion.
We know what RCVS Practice Standards demand, how infection control influences material choices, when and where different levels of radiation protection are required, what drainage an equestrian arena actually needs, and how a modern livestock building should flow.

The Agrarian Difference

- Lack of veterinary and equestrian expertise in designs
- Poor Practice Standards Scheme knowledge
- Workflows are ignored in the design
- Lack of radiation requirements and infection control understanding
- Budget overruns mid-build
- Fragmented supplier handovers
- Generic commercial templates reused

- Sector specialists, not generalists
- Regulatory compliance knowledge (RCVS PSS – aligned design principles)
- Clinical workflows shape every layout
- Reduce staff movement inefficiencies
- Operational performance design thinking
- Transparent costing, no surprises
- One accountable team, start to finish
- Solutions made for the client, no box-cutting of templates
