City of St. Paul - Como Harbor & Seal Island

CPMI provided Agency Construction Management Services for the reinvention of Como’s seal and sea lion exhibit. Located at the heart of the Zoo, the new exhibit creates an enriching experience for guests and improved conditions for the animals. The exhibit includes a covered amphitheater with seating for over 1000 visitors, underwater viewing areas and training stations, deeper diving pools, and expanded holding facilities. Additionally, the expansive new 64,500 SF habitat consists of a heated saltwater environment complete with a natural substrate, rocky outcroppings, and trees to provide shade. Other upgrades include a new restroom building, restaurant, filtration building, and view pavilion. The view pavilion offers both elevated viewing platforms and underwater viewing windows so guests can enjoy shows from multiple vantage points
