SOUL OF THE ZOO
Upon arrival at the new entrance of the Topeka Zoo, guests will find amenities such as a new reception, ticketing booth and gift store. A new sustainability center will be built at the entrance. This center will serve as the hub for the zoo’s 128-member docent program, and a space for ongoing education initiatives. The space will provide opportunities to host regional and national speakers on wildlife conservation, who will share new insights and knowledge with the community.
The Sustainability Center will house Zoo leadership, making decisions that support the environment, staff, community and most of all the animals under human care. The Sustainability Center is the “soul of the zoo” influencing change. After all if you could save the world, wouldn’t you?
Sustainability training centers serve as valuable resources for learning about sustainable practices, environmental stewardship, and responsible business conduct.
