CHARLOTTE MUSEUM OF NATURE






-
The Liollio team has completed design and is currently administering construction of the new Charlotte Museum of Nature, a valuable community resource for Mecklenburg County. The new Museum will be developed at the 73-year-old facility’s current location, adjacent to Freedom Park, providing a complete reinvention of Charlotte’s only nature museum. The project is a public-private partnership between Mecklenburg County, who owns the property and facility, and Discovery Place. The project scope includes a new (replacement) two-level Museum Building of approximately 29,000 GSF and 8 wooded acres of programmed outdoor experiences. The project scope includes nature trails, an elevated treetop canopy walkway, River Otter Habitat, demonstration pavilions, amphitheater, and creek interactions. A public plaza enhances the public realm and connection to Freedom Park and Little Sugar Creek Greenway, and the museum will have aquatic living collections as well as a collection of Piedmont mammals, an aviary, and an apiary.
