PEORIA ZOO WELCOME CENTER

The Peoria Zoo Welcome Center project, built for the Peoria Park
District, included the new construction of a two-story 8,000-square
foot municipal building in Peoria, Illinois. The facility supports
the entrance into the zoo and a gift shop. The new building was
constructed utilizing a wood structural frame and stone exterior.
Other finishes include stone veneer, stone columns, and steel
trusses. The project also includes four lanes of entrance to control
the crowd flow into the zoo, gift shop, restaurant, and restrooms
as well as a new parking lot with 100 spaces, structural mezzanine,
and basement for storage. Due to CORE’s construction efforts,
the Peoria Zoo Welcome Center now provides an aesthetic and
welcoming structure to zoo visitors and employees.
