Zoo Knoxville

Zoo Knoxville will plan, design, and install a new herpetology learning exhibition to improve the educational and interpretive experience for visitors to its reptile and amphibian collection. In partnership with the Knox County School District, the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, and the Nature Conservancy, the zoo will create a Herpetology Learning Center featuring indoor, outdoor, and structured classroom spaces for interactive learning. Project activities will include qualitative and quantitative evaluation, planning and visioning, benchmarking visits to museums and conferences; while also creating design development, fabrication, and installation of the new learning experience scheduled to open in spring 2020.
