Several minor concepts were integrated in the overall design. Examples of which are: zoning to separate public from private areas, continuity of landscaping, and views. All of these correspond to the major concept: designing for both man and animal. The design programming was based on the spatial requirements of the two users: human and animal.

Spaces designed with consideration for animal needs were the animal boarding facility, exercise parks, and hospital areas like hydrotherapy and surgery. The redevelopment for the Diliman Veterinary Teaching Hospital shall reinforce the College’s vision of continued excellence in the field of veterinary practice and research in the Philippines.
