Design Learned, Inc. designed the Paws & Claws Rescue & Resort facility located in northern Minnesota to be exceptional in both animal safety and comfort as well as energy efficiency. This 13,200 square foot facility opened in July 2017 and provides distinct floor planning with mechanical engineering, lighting and plumbing systems which work together to reduce energy and resource consumption and increase staff efficiency.

​

The mechanical systems are designed to reduce animal stress and permit a wide range of temperature and humidity control simultaneously. Functioning in multiple areas of the facility, this creates a disease and odor mitigated environment.
