In May <br />of 2008,the Palm Beach Zoo and the South Florlda Science Museum commissioned <br />CLR to prepare Master Pian documents for each institution. The primary objective <br />of the Zoo Master Plan was to provide a comprehensive road map for future <br />development, with a special focus on "greening"the overall Park and Zoo campus, <br />and redefining how visitors arrive, circulate, and enter the Zoo. <br />The Master Plan, focusing on a 10-20 year Implementation time line, addresses <br />over a dozen major exhibits and visitor amenities that affect all parts of the Zoo. <br />With the proposed relocation of all visitor parking to an adjacent parcel of park <br />land, the Master Plan proposes a major new entry complex, improvements to <br />existing circulation systems, and a dramatic increase in animal exhibit land use. In <br />addition, and in fulfillment of the Palm Beach zoo's commitment to conservation <br />and education, initial concepts were developed for a new wellness center, and <br />multiple show and keeper demonstration areas. <br />
