WFL 63: Building The Toronto Zoo’s Animal Habitats

Have you ever wondered how the animals’ habitats are built at the Toronto Zoo? It seems like all of these complex habitats are built every once and a while, but it seems seamless; however, that can’t be the case…and it isn’t the case. The animal habitats and designs are managed by the diverse team of professionals and led by the Project Management Team at the Toronto Zoo. I had the opportunity to sit down with Ben Knoop to ask him about his role as Project Manager. We discuss everything from how he ended up working at the Zoo, what his favourite construction job was, and how he is looking forward to the new Outdoor Orangutan Habitat that is currently being built.
