The Michigan Humane Society has raised $9 million of the $15.5 million it needs to construct a state-of-the-art animal care center in Detroit.
Excavation at the new site 7887 Chrysler at Clay Street is underway, with completion of the new 34,000-square-foot Detroit Animal Care Campus expected by early 2016.
Southfield-based Neumann/Smith Architecture and Blue Sky Architecture, based in West Vancouver, British Columbia, which specializes in animal shelters, are designing the new complex.
Sachse Construction in Detroit is serving as general contractor, and Goyette Mechanical of Flint is tasked with the HVAC design and installation.
