Join us as Liollio Architecture gives us a tour of the Charlotte Nature Museum. This new museum is at the 73-year-old facility's current location adjacent to Freedom Park, providing a complete reinvention of Charlotte's only nature museum. The project is a public-private partnership between Mecklenburg County, who owns the property and facility, and Discovery Place. The project scope includes a new two-level museum building of approximately 29,000 GSF and 8 wooded acres of programmed outdoor experiences. The new museum will include nature trails, an elevated treetop canopy walkway, River Otter Habitat, demonstration pavilions, amphitheater, and creek interactions. An open plaza enhances the public realm and connection to Freedom Park and Little Sugar Creek Greenway and the museum will have aquatic living collections as well as a collection of Piedmont mammals, an aviary, and an apiary.
