Scope Of Work
Guido was the CM@Risk for the renovation of the Will Smith Zoo School, Giraffe Exhibit, Elephant Rain Garden Moat, and Lion’s Den. The Platinum, 25,000 SF renovation of the Zoo preschool accommodates 160 students with nature-based classroom environments, reinforcing student’s connections to the natural environment.
Giraffe Exhibit renovations installed a feeding platform where guests can feed the giraffes and artificial rock walls, construction of a pole barn, a guest dining deck, a waterhole for the exhibit and a hoof stock barn were also constructed.
The 19,800 SF Rain Garden feature enhanced the visitor experience at the Elephant Exhibit through landscaping efforts while also improving runoff water quality through filtration and bioremediation. The 7,100 SF Lion’s Den renovations created a 17 ft tall vision wall of steel frame and laminated glass panels, creating a more manageable habitat and a new guest experience that is both educational and exciting.
