Help - Public Aquarium Conceptual Drawing

RosevilleAquarium

Hi everyone,

I'm part of a small volunteer group working on bringing a public aquarium to the Sacramento CA region. We have a meeting next week and need a good quality conceptual drawing of a public aquarium for the presentation.

Does anyone know where we might find such a drawing?

We will not be using the drawing publicly, for fundraising etc., it's strictly for next weeks presentation.

Our model aquarium (for now) is The Newport Aquarium in KY. Though it would be great to find a drawing of TNA, it doesn't have to be that aquarium specifically.

 

Thank you for any help you are able to provide - Mike

Ask the architects like gwharton suggested. They'd probably be glad to have a heads up on a potential new RFP in their future...

Also, if you haven't been there, you should really check out the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga. It's very cool, has an interesting organizational concept, was part of a major urban rehabilitation plan, and is in a smaller city by a river, sort of like Sacramento.

I'm away from my notes at the moment, but I believe we researched  the Tennessee Aquarium (briefly) a few months back. We'll definitely give it another look, thanks for the tip.

Cambridge 7 are the only go-to-guys on this stuff - was friends with one of the original founders and chased an aquarium together.

Thanks to this forum, it looks like we'll get the drawing needed for our presentation! You have all been a great help to our project. I sincerely appreciate everyone who took time out of their day to help us out.

Have a super weekend - Mike
