The Oregon Zoo, one of the services of Metro, is a community treasure. It is the oldest zoo in the Pacific Northwest and continues to be the number one admission-based attraction in Oregon. The Oregon Zoo is well known for its success in protecting threatened and endangered species and providing generations of families with unique hands-on learning and recreational experiences. The Oregon Zoo consistently attracts more than 1.5 million visitors per year. The Administration Building holds many key functions. It is home to the Zoo's: executive team, marketing, communication, and inclusion department, the education program leads and the volunteer center. It is also the headquarters for our partner, The Oregon Zoo Foundation. The building as it stands today was constructed in 1986. Over-time the upper level has been compartmentalized to accommodate evolving needs. This renovation "refresh" is intended to create a universal space inviting for all Zoo, Metro staff, and invited members of the public. Improvements also address ADA barriers identified in a prior assessment and a new staff break room will be added. As the Zoo looks to future campus improvements there fresh Administration Building will accommodate displaced staff for periods of transition. The Scope of Work is further described in the Drawings and Specification, included as Attachments A and B respectively.
