Conceptual plans call for the addition of a municipal facility; for the demolition of a municipal facility; for the construction of a 9,000-square-foot municipal facility; and for site work for a municipal facility.

This project aims to replace the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter located at 395 Belgrade Rd. The City constructed the original shelter building in 1974, adding office space in 1993 and police service dog kennels in 2001. The original building is a 4,000 sq. ft. steel frame building used to house kennels for dogs and cats. The office addition is a 1,200 sq. ft. concrete block and wood frame building used by the shelter and clinical staff to perform spays and neuters, facilitate animal adoptions, and conduct daily operations. A 900 sq. ft. detached steel frame building houses kennels for the Police Departments police service dogs. The current shelter can accommodate 40 dogs and 40 cats.
