Penguin HPAI-A (H5N1) Enclosure
FY 2023-24 · 2023-06-01
Summary
With the onset of the HPAI-A (H5N1) Avian Flu endemic, the Toronto Zoo has engaged GCCW to develop and rapidly deploy an external enclosure capable of protecting the African Penguin exhibit from the Avian Flu. The enclosure must adequately protect the penguins without modifying the exhibit's footprint or impede visitor access to the exhibit. To accomplish this, GCCW aims to develop new construction technologies capable of isolating the exhibit from potential infection without altering the location, size, or access to the exhibit.

Description (French)
Avec le début de l’endémie de grippe aviaire HPAI-A (H5N1), le zoo de Toronto a engagé GCCW pour développer et déployer rapidement un enclos externe capable de protéger l’exposition des manchots africains contre la grippe aviaire. L’enclos doit protéger les pingouins de manière adéquate sans modifier l’empreinte de l’exposition ni entraver l’accès des visiteurs à l’exposition. Pour ce faire, le GCCW vise à développer de nouvelles technologies de construction capables d’isoler l’exposition d’une infection potentielle sans modifier l’emplacement, la taille ou l’accès à l’exposition.
