Future Entrance New Entrance and Polar Bear Habitat In 2011, the Buffalo Zoo completed schematic design on a new entrance and polar bear habitat (Arctic Edge). The existing brick barn adjacent to the parking lot will undergo adaptive re-use to become a new Entry Complex. It will serve as a gathering space for visitors as they embark on their Zoo adventure. The plaza will include an interactive water feature depicting the Great Lakes to introduce the Zoo’s water theme in a fun way as jumping jets of water leap from planter to planter. The Entry Complex will include ticketing, membership, restrooms, a new café and gift shop. Construction of the new entrance is slated to begin in August 2012.

Arctic Edge will be a dramatic new exhibit focusing on frozen water. The exhibit will feature two large polar bear habitats with underwater viewing of salt-water pools for an up-close look at the bears’ playful antics. Construction of a new polar bear habitat is required to maintain this species at the Buffalo Zoo since the current exhibit dates from the 1890s and has been cited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (our accrediting body) as inconsistent with modern zoo stan- dards. The interior pathway of Arctic Edge will bring visitors past a variety of species, including bald eagle, Arctic wolf and Canadian lynx, culminating in an Arctic Conservation Center. Within the Arctic Conservation Center, educational graphics and interpretive exhibits will focus on climate change and positive measures Zoo visitors can take to lower their carbon footprint. Construction of Arctic Edge is scheduled to begin in late spring 2013.

Gwen Howard of Foit-Albert Associates is the lead architect of both projects with Patrick Janikowski of PJA Architects and Landscape Architects designing the animal habitats and holding areas for Arctic Edge.

9 10 Research

The Zoological Society of Buffalo recognizes that important contributions are made to the Zoo and to the profession by research efforts. The Society also recognizes that research benefits society at large by con- tributing to our collective knowledge of nature. Research projects conducted or contributed to as a result of Committee approval and/or cooperation with AZA requests in 2011, and those projects continued from previous years are listed below.
