Schwarzman Animal Medical Center is celebrating the completion of an 83,000-square-foot expansion and renovation \u2014 the institution\u2019s largest overhaul in six decades.<\/p>\n

AMC is the world\u2019s largest veterinary hospital and New York City\u2019s only Level 1 veterinary trauma center.<\/p>\n

The $125 million project concluded in December with the opening of a new emergency room and upgraded facilities for cardiology, radiology, ophthalmology, neurology and internal medicine.<\/p>\n

The expansion comes as more pet owners seek advanced veterinary services in New York City.<\/p>\n

\u201cAMC\u2019s demand for services started to increase at a faster rate than even we were anticipating,\u201d said Courtney Rabb, Schwarzman AMC\u2019s chief strategy officer. \u201cSo it became very clear that an expansion and renovation of the space would be needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The multiphase construction effort began in 2021 and took place while the hospital remained fully operational. The project reconfigured and expanded clinical capacity across AMC\u2019s East Side campus, ultimately rebuilding 98% of the hospital.<\/p>\n

The work was done in three phases.<\/p>\n
