Scope:

The Toledo Zoo Reptile House Redevelopment project involves the construction of a cutting-edge greenhouse attached to the existing reptile house, featuring modern climate control systems and durable polycarbonate sheeting to replicate natural habitats for reptiles. Additionally, a concession stand will be designed to function as a catering facility, with a focus on efficiency, sustainable practices, and visitor convenience. The overall aim is to enhance the visitor experience by creating an aesthetically pleasing outdoor space surrounding the reptile house and greenhouse, incorporating native flora, seating areas, and interactive exhibits. The project will prioritize environmental sustainability through the use of energy-efficient systems and materials, ensuring compliance with relevant building codes and safety standards to guarantee the well-being of visitors, staff, and animals throughout the construction and operation phases.
