Racine zoo master plan. Design included the creation of a Sudano savannah ecotype housing several species including black rhino, Grevi zebra, crested crane, kudu and other antelope, and giraffe. The design of the interactive savannah included 'kreeps', or areas where the animals could seek shelter from the rhinos. Plant communities within the exhibit and along the pedestrian area were designed to evoke the subsahara region of central Africa, on the shores of Lake Michigan!

This is the most formal of several concepts. Design incorporates a repurposed wall and relocated memorial shields. Flags of all branches of service lead the eye toward the wall of honor.
