MedVet Memphis LLC has applied for a $3 million permit to build a 17,700-square-foot, two-story facility at 555 Trinity Creek Cove. The office will replace MedVet’s current facility at 850 N. Germantown Parkway, suite 105. Land is currently being cleared to prepare for building the facility, said Katie Wassmer of Thompson & Berry PR, which represents MedVet.
MedVet is the only veterinary hospital within 200 miles with full-time board-certified veterinary specialists, a designation given to vets who have undergone several additional years of training to specialize in fields such as oncology or dermatology. The new facility will house eight exam rooms and a double surgery suite, as well as equipment for CT scans, ultrasounds and endoscopy procedures; a Wi-Fi-equipped waiting room; a boardroom; and meeting space for more than 70 people.
Memphis-based archimania designed the facility to be calming to pets and owners. Features include larger exam rooms and natural light. The facility is within walking distance of the Shelby Farms off-leash dog park, and MedVet plans to partner with the park throughout the year for events and special offers, Wassmer said. Though specific plans haven’t been made yet, Wassmer said Shelby Farms and MedVet share the goal of helping animals.
