Branford Veterinary Hospital Planning New Facility

The design for the new facility is unique. A construction company has been hired for the project.

BRANFORD, CT — Branford Veterinary Hospital (BVH) has selected Pat Munger Construction Company, Inc. to build a new approximately 5,818 SF two story wood framed building at 125 North Branford Road in Branford. The new site will replace the current facility, which has been the home for Branford Veterinary Hospital since its opening in 1937.

This ground-up project is driven by Michael Cormier, Project Manager, and James DeMaio, Project Supervisor. The new hospital is comprised of four exam rooms, cat and dog waiting areas, a radiology room, glass enclosed medical wards, an indoor exercise area and three doctor’s offices, enabling BVH to perform their wide array of veterinary services more efficiently.

This project incorporates a unique, “Colonial Salt Box,” farmhouse design. As BVH owner Scott Gavaletz, D.V.M. explained in a news release, “The old farm property has been a landmark in town for over one hundred years. We wanted to continue the legacy, so we modeled the hospital after the original farmhouse.”
