NHSPCA
Stratham, New Hampshire

A two-phase project for Blue Sky, the first phase was site work and a new 12,000 square foot shelter that was constructed where an old barn-like structure was town down. The second phase consisted of an 8,000 square foot Learning Center with administrative offices. The New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals opened their new facility in 2001, and is greatly admired in animal design and function.

This new facility in Stratham allows for increased activity with 12,200 square feet of new shelter space, 45 dog kennels, and room for an abundance of cats and other small animals. In the new spacious lobby, visitors can view cats and other animals up for adoption, as well as shop an impressive retail service area for pet supplies and gifts. There is a separate entrance for people to surrender animals, extra large dog kennels, a home style welcome rooms for dogs, new community rooms for cats, as well as individual cat spaces. The Learning Center is also a great community attribute.

The NHSPCA is a non-profit serving more than 121 communities in New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts. The center is dedicated to bettering the communities they serve by bringing animals and people together. In their highly functional and efficient new building, they offer adoption, sheltering, investigation, and educational services. Blue Sky was able to work with the NHSPCA to develop the best fitting building to serve over 4,000 animals that are surrendered here each year.
