Project description: Wonders of Wildlife is undergoing modifications and an addition to allow members a seamless path through the aquarium into the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame Museum. Project Manager Jadan Scoggins of CB-GC said the project includes excavation and construction using cast-in-place concrete, structural steel and masonry. Scoggins said the corridor addition is projected to add roughly 800 square feet of artifacts and information about the sport of bass fishing. Wonders of Wildlife visitors will then have an open path into an Under River Experience followed by the community pond and jellyfish exhibits, she said.
