Zoo "LAIR"
The Los Angeles Zoo's $14.1 million LAIR (Living Amphibians Invertebrates Reptiles) exhibit opens today.
"Nine years in the making, the 8,300-square-foot LAIR comprises two reptile houses..."
The NC Zoo's two-building, Streamside exhibit complex in "North America" is 9,250 square feet and cost much, much less (in 1985-90 dollars). All of "North America" cost under $32 million to build. The "Rocky Coast" and the "Sonora Desert" were the most expensive structures, at about $4.2 and $3.6 million, respectively.
"The reptile and amphibian exhibit is the penultimate project in a $172 million building program supported by voter-approved Proposition CC bonds.
"Since 2005, the Los Angeles Zoo has carried out a complete makeover that includes a new front gate, animal health and children's discovery centers, as well as its orangutan, gorilla, golden monkey, elephant and sea lion exhibits.
"A $22 million Rain Forest of the Americas exhibit, the last of 16 projects, is slated to open in April 2013."
