Join us for a presentation by Little Diversified Architectural Consulting and the design team of the Asia Exhibit before the official opening to the public. This expansion project, as part of the NC Connect Bond funding and generous donations from their Zoo Society Members, will highlight habitats for iconic species such as tigers, Komodo dragons, Visayan warty pigs, Asian small-clawed otters, king cobras, and white-cheeked gibbons. The 12.5-acre project site, located in the heart of the 2,000-acre zoo, consists of over 8 structures including an entrance bridge, 300-person café, gift shop, viewing pavilion, animal habitats, and support buildings, all designed to incorporate the textures, shapes, technology, and cultural references from the animals' native origins.
