Client Spotlight “Lake County Animal Control”
The Lake County Animal Control Center provides a wide range of services to Lake County, Illinois residents. This particular building is used to house stray cats and dogs. They hired Carroll Seating Company to design this wash area and storage area. New stray dogs come into this area to get washed and treated by medical staff. The staff will use both over and under custom cabinets to store the many cleaning supplies and items used for the animals’ health. Carroll Seating Company installed custom Case Systems plastic laminate cabinets. Because of their concern for cleanliness, they chose stainless steel countertops from Institutional Equipment. These are easy to keep sanitized and easy to care for.
