The addition of a specialized indoor arena for the evaluation and treatment of sports medicine related illness/injury will benefit Mid-Atlantic region equines.

CHANTILLY, VIRGINIA, USA, February 27, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — This month, Scott-Long Construction is celebrating the completion of the Jane & Stephen Hale Equine Performance Evaluation Center at the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center. The new facility will be a focal point to the center’s sports medicine complex.
 
Scott-Long Construction partnered with the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center, Virginia Tech Foundation, and Capitol Companies to complete this highly anticipated project which has been in the works for several years.

The new facility has three different surfaces to support evaluation and diagnosis of sports medicine related illness and injury in the horse, providing the perfect environment for the center’s clinicians to evaluate orthopedic, heart and respiratory issues that are associated with the athletic ability of the horse.

The Mid-Atlantic region is known to be an equestrian hot-spot with competition barns with some notable event venues in the area. The completion of this project will be greatly beneficial to the horse community, providing a weatherproof, safe facility for year-round evaluation of horses and other equids. “This project will raise the level of care for equine athletes in the Mid-Atlantic”, states John Scott, CEO of the Virginia commercial construction company Scott-Long. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the center to bring a new level of excellence in equine healthcare.” 

Prior to this project, the Washington DC Metro commercial contractors built a foundation in the equine industry by working on the National Sporting Library in Middleburg, Virginia.  The Marion duPont Scott Medical Equine Center offers 24-hour emergency and critical care and is one of three animal healthcare facilities of the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. The center’s team of equine specialists in internal medicine, sports medicine and surgery are committed to providing exceptional treatment and care to the 2,400 equines treated at the center annually.
