ROBBINSVILLE, N.J. — Cranbury, N.J.-based Sweetwater Construction Corp. has been selected to provide pre-construction and construction management services for the development of a 33,000-square-foot veterinary specialty and emergency trauma center in Robbinsville. Situated on 3 acres at 315 Robbinsville-Allentown Rd., the $9 million facility will serve primary care veterinarians throughout the region. It is replacing the existing Veterinary Surgical & Diagnostic Specialists facility, a 5,200-square-foot practice located in Millstone, N.J. The new facility, which does not have a formal name yet, will contain a Level 1 trauma center, four surgical suites, an MRI machine, a CT scanner, a radiology treatment center and quarantine areas. It will also feature separate wards for cats and dogs, a dog-walking portico, and the ability to treat farm and exotic animals. Constructed on the site of a former farmhouse, the new facility will preserve 200-year old trees presently on the property, as well as use elements of the old farmhouse in the new construction. The facility was designed by Conshohocken, Pa.-based Jeffrey L. Grogan Architects. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2009, with the facility’s grand opening scheduled for May 2010.
