Greensboro Science Center Zoo Expansion

Since 2018, the S&ME team has provided geotechnical engineering and construction materials testing to support 11-acre expansion efforts at the Greensboro Science Center in Greensboro, NC. Revolution Ridge, the largest expansion in the 63-year history of GSC, includes a state-of-the-art animal hospital, conservation center, learning center, water gardens, elevated boardwalk, and nature playhouses. Many additional animal habitats were created to accommodate nearly endangered species, including cassowaries, okapis, pygmy hippos, Chilean flamingoes, endangered cats, and red pandas.

S&ME services have included geotechnical engineering, laboratory testing, jurisdictional delineation, and construction materials testing.

Our team was awarded the Star Award from the Construction Professionals Network of North Carolina (CPN of NC) for our work on this project. CPN’s Star Award is a symbol of excellence in construction for projects that make a meaningful impact on local communities.
