Access and scheduling
Veterinary clinics around Colorado Springs are often freestanding buildings with their own lot, which makes truck access easy, but the back door usually opens off the treatment area or the ward, the two rooms we most need to keep clean and clear. We plan the route with your manager so heavy cage banks never pass through a room where staff are still working with animals.
Think about three stages. First, staff clear and disinfect the wards and the pharmacy while the front of the clinic still sees appointments. Second, vendors decommission anesthesia, radiology, and lab equipment, and we move the wards, treatment room, and back office, often on a Saturday or Sunday. Third, the lobby and exam rooms move after the last appointment, keeping the front desk's closure brief. A clinic in a shared building should check if its landlord requires our Certificate of Insurance.
