Highlights

The Mississippi Aquarium Changing Tides Exhibit project involved the renovation of an existing building, transforming the space from a meeting facility into a new interactive exhibit environment while maintaining uninterrupted day-to-day Aquarium operations.

The project added more than 7,000 square feet of indoor exhibition space featuring over 20 new habitats and more than 100 species displayed throughout three distinct biomes. Renovations included building upgrades to support new animal enclosures and tanks.

A key component of the project involved tying the new exhibit systems into the Aquarium’s existing Life Support Systems piping and equipment while the systems remained fully operational.
