The Maryland Zoo Renovation

Location: Baltimore, Maryland

Project: Arctic Adventure Exhibit

Awards:

2008 Potomac/Maryland Chapters of the American Society of Landscape Architects, Merit Award

Description: The Arctic Adventure Exhibit includes the design of habitat for several animals, such as the Snowy Owl, Arctic Fox, and the ever-popular pair of Polar Bears. The Polar Bear enclosure is the centerpiece of the exhibit and includes two pools with major rockeries and a Tundra Buggy. Underwater viewing of one of the pools offers a unique vantage point of the bears at play.

Planting within the exhibit has made extensive use of native plants specifically chosen to depict the character of the animals' natural Canadian tundra habitat.
