Barossa Veterinary Service has appointed Cyclo to design and deliver a new 850sqm veterinary hospital in Nuriootpa, about four times the size of the current clinic. The new facility is designed to improve animal welfare, streamline clinical workflows, and enhance the experience for both clients and staff.
The design includes multiple consult rooms, a large grieving room, and a central pharmacy and laboratory to shorten travel paths for staff. It also provides separate waiting and holding areas for large and small dogs, an isolation room for infectious cases, and two surgery theatres with dedicated dental tables, plus ultrasound and X-ray rooms. There is also provision for future expansion, including space for a CT scanner room.
The layout provides separate dog and cat waiting areas and distinct routes for different patient types, reducing stress in the busiest zones. Circulation has been designed so that pets move from reception to consult, treatment and discharge without crossing back through waiting areas.
For clients, the design introduces long-stay waiting areas for extended visits and procedures. For staff, an upper-level hub provides offices, meeting rooms, a boardroom and a lunch room opening onto a balcony overlooking the former train station, separating focused work and recovery space from the clinical floor.
The project has commenced construction and is due for completion in 2026. Click here to read more.
