Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium Education Building Expansion

Inspired by the concept of a treehouse, the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium’s expanded education facility dissolves the boundary between building and nature. Featuring a 17,400-square-foot timber addition and native flora, the design lifts learning spaces into the treetops, creating an immersive sanctuary for students.
