PROJECT INFORMATION: Scope of work involves mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) system upgrades, along with security and related building infrastructure improvements, stormwater management and yard renovations, added containment fencing, and pedestrian surface repairs. As part of this project, nearly all site and building infrastructure will be revitalized, which will restore operational functionality and support animal care needs. In addition, due to erosion caused by intense storm run-off, the structural foundation for the station must be replaced and raised up to prevent future deterioration. The containment fence, visitor barriers, and security systems will be replaced in response to AZA inspections and recommendations, and to reduce the deferred maintenance backlog. Structural improvements will be made to address the safety of maintenance workers and support best practices in animal welfare and management of their habitats and housing.

plumbing, electrical, and fire protection equipment.
