Veterinary Specialty Center
When Rhonda Feinmehl and Mitch Robbins decided they needed a bigger animal hospital, they went all in on sustainability. Better for people, planet and pets, they posited. The new facility, located at 2051 Waukegan Road in Bannockburn, features a healthy indoor environment, a green roof, living walls and a 144kW solar array designed and installed by 1818. The solar panels cover the animal hospital’s roof as well as a carport over the employee parking lot.
The vets, a husband-and-wife team, have devoted themselves to providing the best care for their four-legged patients and their two-legged clients. Their new hospital, the area’s only Level 1 trauma center, reflects that commitment.
