I agree, the woodwork is great! It adds to the overall "warmth" of the
setting and is very appropriate for a natural history center. Nice job.

A few questions:

1) How many of the featured exhibits are new or relatively so?
2) How much of the design and construction was done in house? By staff or
volunteers?
3) It appears that the river tank and at least some others are rear serviced.
True? If so, what amount of potential public space was given up to accomodate
service areas? Was there any negative reaction from the public regarding
giving up public space?
4) Did you use safety glass in your exhibits, especially on the lower ones?
5) What would you have done different?

I'm working on similar developments at the FWNC&R interpretive center and can
use the advice.

Thanks,
