Willows Veterinary Centre – State of the Art New Build

A stunning new veterinary hospital has been completed in Solihull in the West Midlands. Willows Veterinary Centre and Referral Service boasts 5 operating theatres, 2 X-ray suites, MRI /CAT scan facilities and 12 consulting rooms in addition to intensive care and recovery areas. The state of the art new build was completed by Weaver Construction earlier this year and is now fully operational. The Willows is renowned for carrying out cutting edge procedures such as the first knee replacement surgery in Europe in August 2007. The operation was carried out on Grace, a 7 year old bearded collie crippled with stifle arthritis. Today, in addition to providing a general practice service, specialist referrals come to Willows from all over the UK. The veterinary team is made up of highly skilled specialists across a number of disciplines, and the practice philosophy is one of being ‘committed to excellence.’ Specifying floor surfaces throughout the facility was critical. Partner Peter Renwick chose Stonhard UK after visiting floor installations at Cambridge and Liverpool Vet Schools. All ground floor areas, 3 stair cases and external kennels are finished with Stonshield HRI in Ash. The MRI suite has been finished with the anti static version of the product Stonshield ATS. Peter Renwick commented; ‘The Stonshield product has proven perfect in providing a coved, seamless, highly durable hygienic floor in clinical areas. Additionally the RTZ product has proven a great success in the clinic offices where its noise deadening, impact absorbing qualities and decorative appearance have won the approval of both staff and visitors.’ ‘We have found the Stonhard product range to be excellent and ideally suited to a veterinary setting. We would certainly use Stonhard again in the future.’ The UK Stonhard team can be contacted on 01256 336600 www.stonhard.co.uk.
