The Columbus Zoo is in the midst of a $20 million dollar expansion project that will take guests to the Polar Frontier to experience polar bears, brown bears, mountain goats, reindeer, and more.  A key educational component of the exhibit will be a themed interpretive center.  Interpretive centers are a rising trend in new zoo exhibits.  These centers offer guests the opportunity to further explore the animals and their environments after viewing the main exhibit.  The LBE Studio is working with the zoo and other developers to provide preliminary design documents and interactive concepts for the Polar Frontier interpretive center.  The ETC will likely move forward with development of these interactive exhibits in future semesters.
