INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY (IPD)
Smarter veterinary facilities, delivered faster.
At Massa Multimedia Architecture, PC (MMA), we understand the challenges veterinary organizations face when adapting or expanding physical space. Aging layouts, inefficient workflows, and site constraints can slow operations, increase costs, and impact patient flow, staff satisfaction, and the client experience.
That’s why MMA brings a smarter way to build—combining Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) with Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) to streamline every phase of a project. From entitlements and permitting to design, sourcing, fabrication, and installation, our approach accelerates timelines while maintaining quality, consistency, and regulatory compliance.
Using modular wall panels and factory-integrated systems— from HVAC to vacuum plumbing and medical gas—we reduce on-site disruptions and deliver durable, clean, and highly adaptable clinical environments. Whether retrofitting an existing hospital or rolling out a new location, this method supports scalable growth and real-world veterinary operations.
MMA isn’t just your architect—we’re your integrated delivery partner. By prefabricating key clinical components in controlled environments, we eliminate many of the delays, coordination gaps, and field inconsistencies common to traditional construction.
If your veterinary organization is ready to rethink how space gets designed and delivered, MMA offers a proven path forward—with speed, flexibility, and purpose-built precision.
Outcome : Faster delivery, fewer on-site disruptions, and clinic environments that perform like healthcare from day one.
MODULAR WALL PANELS
Faster builds, cleaner sites, and spaces that can evolve with your practice.
MMA’s modular wall panel systems offer a smarter, more flexible way to deliver veterinary facilities. This approach allows teams to start with a clean slate and quickly shape clinical environments that feel inviting, efficient, and purposebuilt. Because panels are installed rapidly—about one hour per linear foot—projects move faster with less on-site clutter, fewer trade handoffs, and reduced disruption to active operations.
Off-site manufacturing is a core strength of this system. Building key components in controlled factory environments improves quality control, tight tolerances, and schedule predictability. MMA supports that precision with room-by-room planning and detailed wall elevations that coordinate furniture, equipment, and electrical/clinical fixtures before fabrication begins. That level of upfront accuracy minimizes changes in the field and ensures every connection and service point lands exactly where it should.
Acoustic performance is also built into our approach. MMA utilizes sound attenuation materials in conjunction with our wall system’s Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating, air exchange grilles in the ceilings, and a sound masking system to reduce the transmission of noise between spaces and provide a higher level of privacy for clients, patients, and staff.
We also use plug-and-play technology in lieu of traditional hard wiring. This reduces installation time, limits the inspections and permits required, and decreases both labor and product costs compared to conventional construction methods.
Sustainability is a key advantage as well. We consider our wall products 100% reusable, with zero waste diverted to a landfill and no disposal costs at the end of a program or renovation cycle. MMA’s environmental commitment aligns with LEED philosophy and a green construction process, helping clients meet performance goals without added waste or disruption.
The result is a durable, clinical-grade space that installs quickly, performs consistently, and can be reconfigured as your practice grows. Whether renovating or expanding to new locations, modular wall panels help MMA deliver highperformance veterinary environments with speed, clarity, and long-term adaptability.

MODERN DAY USES FOR MAGNETS
Magnets have been used for thousands of years by many cultures throughout the world, often for therapeutic purposes. Today magnets are incorporated in industrial machinery, consumer products, computers, and even transportation. Industrial Magnets are used in auto manufacturing and aerial manufacturing industries to hold and transport large metal components. Electromagnets are used in industrial conveyor systems, and by cranes to pick up and drop heavy loads.
We utilize magnet technology as part of our health clinic designs as magnets offer increased adaptability and flexibility to the end user. The steel surfaces of our walls allow everything a health space requires, including monitors, workstations, interdiagnostic panels, lead apron racks, sharps containers, gloves, and paper towel holders, etc., to be mounted via magnets specifically designed to hold the corresponding weight.
When there is a need to repurpose a room or adjust equipment to meet regulatory codes, there is no need to drill into the walls. Our innovative magnet technology is strong and safe and allows for the design, branding, or function of a room to be changed easily by just adding or removing the necessary items. No mess, no holes, no hassle.
NEW MODULAR SURGICAL CEILING
MMA’s patent-pending modular surgical ceiling is redefining how operating rooms are planned, built, and upgraded. As new technologies emerge and clinical standards evolve, modular ceiling systems are becoming a cornerstone of modern OR design—delivering the flexibility to adapt quickly, the access needed for simplified maintenance, and the performance required for stronger infection control. By enabling faster updates to lighting, airflow, and ceiling-mounted medical equipment, these systems support cleaner installations and more efficient long-term operations.
Engineered to be strong, lightweight, and versatile, MMA’s framework is built for both retrofit and new construction applications. It provides precise alignment and stability for ceiling-mounted equipment, while allowing adjustability during installation to accommodate field conditions without compromising performance.
To reduce onsite complexity, modular units are assembled and fitted out in the plant, then carefully packaged for delivery so they arrive completely intact and ready to install. Installation is designed to be efficient and straightforward: the primary modular infrastructure can be set in place within a single day, with the full ceiling system completed in just a few days. With a compact 24”– 36” height, the system is ideal for low floor-tofloor conditions, helping maintain clear operating room ceiling heights of 9 to 10 feet.
MMA can also premanufacture the surrounding peripheral and secondary ceiling systems using antimicrobial aluminum panels with minimal crevices—supporting infection control while maintaining a clean, streamlined aesthetic. This solution reflects MMA’s commitment to scalable, adaptable innovation built for today’s needs and tomorrow’s challenges.
