Opened in 1986, the Virginia Aquarium has consistently grown and evolved over the decades, and in 2019 Roto was selected to design the institution’s next chapter through a comprehensive Master Planning effort. With the intent of nearly doubling in size and upgrading both animal exhibits and back of house facilities and operations, the AZA accredited institution leveraged Roto’s unique combination of world class planning capabilities, creative experience development, and expert living collections design.
