Project Description




 

This project consisted of new exhibit space for the Australian Outback.  The outdoor portion of the exhibit was designed to allow kangaroos and wallabys a place to wander about freely. The housing for the animals utilized an original elephant house.  The indoor portion of the exhibit was designed to house koalas, but has since been converted into a Great Barrier Reef exhibit.
