Roto’s east coast office (formerly Lyons Zaremba) provided full design services for the large-scale live aquarium exhibits within the 35,000 ft2 multi-level Living Core building within the new 250,000 ft2 science museum in Miami. The Living Core aquarium experience focuses on Florida’s aquatic habitats including a hardwood hammock, sawgrass meadow, coastal mangrove, coastal beach, coral reefs and the Gulf Stream. Two live coral exhibits compare and contrast Atlantic corals with those found in the Indo-Pacific.
