Toronto Zoo Community Conservation Centre
The Toronto Zoo Community Conservation Centre will be a prominent and visually stunning statement of our commitment to conservation science.
This state-of-the-art facility will be located just outside the admission gates. With access to anyone who wants to explore and learn about conservation science, the Centre will be a highly engaging, fun, interactive and educational place of learning, a place where everyone can connect with nature.
Consisting of two new Net Zero buildings, the complex will include an educational building with four classrooms, four laboratories, offices and meeting space for students and educators. The second building will feature an engaging river otter habitat, a new home for the Blanding’s turtle headstarting program, retail space, a rooftop atrium, and an Indigenous welcome garden.
