PROJECT STORY

Habitats to Operations: Shaping Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Our long-standing collaboration with Disney’s Animal Kingdom has allowed us to work on a variety of projects, both in guest-facing areas and essential back-of-house operations. We’ve had the opportunity to enhance animal habitats such as the Asian Small-Clawed Otter and the Western Lowland Gorilla, creating immersive environments that bring guests closer to the natural world while maintaining high standards of animal care.

 

Behind the scenes, our expertise has contributed to key operational projects like the African Elephant Training/Medical Wall and Bus Loop Load/Unload Zones, ensuring the park runs smoothly and efficiently. Whether working on front-of-house experiences that captivate guests or back-of-house operations that support park infrastructure, our commitment to design excellence and functionality ensures that every project at Disney’s Animal Kingdom adds to the magic of the park.
