What I Like Most About VIN

VIN provides a great opportunity to better understand the issues that veterinarians are facing not only when designing hospitals, but also when managing and operating their practices. Ultimately this helps me be a better designer. The ability to give back to the veterinary community by answering design-related questions with the hope of more broadly improving the quality of veterinary care facilities beyond just those that are direct clients.
