Wolf Prowl

A 400 sq. ft. animal husbandry facility, Wolf Prowl was designed and constructed through collaboration between BuildSense Architecture, PC and the NCSU architecture, landscape architecture, and veterinary medicine programs over the course of ten weeks. Divided to allow ease of movement through the site, the two enclosed husbandry spaces accommodate both the daily needs of the veterinary students (small husbandry) and the occasional needs of larger group activities (large husbandry). The reclaimed wood that forms the roof, siding, and doors celebrates the surrounding forest, while the wrapping custom-built windows display constant views of the animal pens, the ultimate reason for the veterinary students’ work.
