In collaboration with zoo exhibit designers, The Portico Group of Seattle, Washington, jdi as the Architect and Engineer of Record, completed the design of the new Bull Elephant Facility and exhibit enclosure. This project illustrates jdi's innovative design capability. Our structural team was not only responsible for the 30 feet high precast "elephant proff" building, but also the 15 feet. high yard barriers and the 40 feet tall steel "tree" which provides enrichment and shade to the elephants. jdi was nominated for a "2009 Be Inspired Award" (The Year in Infrastructure 2009).
