Primate Forest Construction Update

The Primate Forest construction site has been fascinating to observe from week to week this year as the former RainForest was transformed into a fresh canvas for reinvention and something new began to take shape.

The sure-to-be-iconic rotunda that will become the CrossCountry Mortgage Forest Home is easy to spot as you walk past, and there is something interesting happening at the site every day. Take a peek next time you visit the Zoo – you might see masons, welders, and other skilled tradespeople working to complete critical exterior items before winter weather hits.

Out of site, renovations to RainForest habitats are underway – this interior work will continue through the winter. Equally exciting is the construction of new areas; the foundation has been poured for new dining and gathering spaces, and we can hardly wait to see these come to life!
