Exhibit Design

As you  guys already know Bridging the Gap has a lot to offer and something that was a big part of Bridging the Gap was exhibit design and behavior enrichment for animals. As an last assignment for all of the sessions, the students were given some time to create their own exhibit. We were broken up into group and had to choose a mammal to create a exhibit for, using all of the aspects we learned about exhibit design. All the groups had to think about how big the space would be, the climate the animal lives in, the way the public would have access to see the animal, outdoor or indoor exhibit, and things in that nature.

This is a exhibit that was done by Vanessa Martinez, Kawayne Campbell, Anthony Chesser and myself
