Animal Care Center Video

On April 22nd, we dedicated the long-awaited Melvin J. and Claire Levine Animal Care Complex with a ceremony and media event. This exciting building, awash in southwestern colors and situated at the northern edge of the zoo, is thoroughly green. We designed the structure to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified at the Gold level. Since the process of certification takes some time, we won't know if we achieved this notable benchmark for many months. Inside the building, a continuous loop power-point presentation will teach our visitors about green buildings and green technology with a strong emphasis on renewable energy sources.

You can help!

Equipment and technology needed for the new Animal Care Complex is a high priority for funding. Please consider a donation to help the zoo purchase these items.
