Project Overview
The African Wilds: Carnivores Exhibit at the Tulsa Zoo in Tulsa, Oklahoma delivered a new immersive habitat complex bringing lions, meerkats, painted dogs, and a walkthrough aviary to life in a naturalistic African savanna environment. The $46,000,000 project features tall grass landscapes, rocky kopje outcroppings, and species-specific year-round habitats that allow visitors to experience the animals up close in every season. An educational classroom, concession areas, and a permanent event pavilion complete the visitor experience. The client engaged PRESWERX to develop renderings, animations, a presentation, and coaching in support of the competitive pursuit.
Client Challenges
The client faced a pursuit where a complex multi-species habitat had to read as immersive visitor experience and conservation environment at once:
A multi-species habitat across a naturalistic African landscape required imagery that conveyed the immersive scale and character of the finished exhibit.
Year-round species-specific habitats required a presentation that communicated the design thinking behind animal welfare alongside visitor access.
An educational classroom, concession areas, and event pavilion required visuals that captured the full community program beyond the animal exhibits.
Together, these called for a package that made an immersive zoo habitat feel as rich on paper as it would be in person.
Scope of Work
PRESWERX delivered a full pursuit package for the African Wilds: Carnivores Exhibit at the Tulsa Zoo in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Renderings depicted the immersive habitat environments, from the kopje outcroppings and tall grass lion territory to the walkthrough aviary and painted dog areas, bringing the naturalistic African setting to life for the Tulsa Zoo's evaluation team. Animations gave the team a dynamic view of the completed exhibit complex and the visitor experience it would create across seasons. PRESWERX also developed a presentation covering the full construction and design approach, then provided coaching to prepare the team to deliver it confidently.
