Rogers wins 2008 Build Georgia Award for Gwinnett County Animal Welfare and Enforcement Center

Jun 20 2008

The Georgia Branch of the AGC awarded Rogers Construction Co. the 2008 Build Georgia Award for their Gwinnett County Animal Welfare and Enforcement Center in Lawrenceville.

Completed last year, the 40,000 square foot facility is equipped to house hundreds of animals, including farm animals and reptiles, in a humane and sanitary environment. In addition, the facility features surgical suits similar to those found at animal hospitals.

Through teamwork and dedication, Rogers Construction was able to balance the need for not only a specialized and efficient building in which to better house animals, but also the need to create an attractive building for the community.

The Center is expected to receive an estimate of 15,000 stray or abandoned animals over the course of a year.

“The teamwork that went into it between us, the architect and owner, is what makes it stand out. We were able to assist the design team in several instances that worked out problems, made it more user-friendly and appealing to the public,” said Rogers Construction Safety Director Ricky Vickery.
