BIA.studio conducted a survey of existing facilities at the Franklin Park and Stone Zoos, encompassing 98 acres and 116 building, exhibit and infrastructure assets totaling 181,682 square feet. BIA and its engineering team conducted walkthroughs of the assets, documented existing conditions, evaluations, recommendations, priority ratings and cost estimates in an Asset Evaluation Report. The information collected was developed into a database which provided cost modeling for future deferred maintenance and new construction projects, which was conveyed to Zoo New England for its ongoing use in the management and monitoring of its assets.
