Here is the gantry system that was used to remove and lift the 15'x8' former penguin exhibit viewing window.


The remaining pieces of the penguin exhibit are ready for transport.


We had to remove two doors from the Academy's entrance to get the penguin window out!!!

Thank you to all of our volunteers, donors and in-kind contributors who made this move possible!
