Pet Resource Center
The Pet Resource Center is a public animal care building in Bentonville, Arkansas. The center supports the adoption and fostering of pets. Kennels and cages are intentionally omitted. The design responds to the local rural landscape and to the shapes of nearby barn buildings. The roof slopes peak, merge and extend to shelter the program. A community wing and a medical wing are joined by an internal bridge that shades the event spaces below and provides a work area for volunteers. The building has 20,000 square feet of interior space and the same area outdoors on a six acre site.
