Leigh + O’Kane provided structural engineering services for the Polar Bears exhibit at the Kansas City Zoo in Kansas City, Missouri, supporting a specialized zoological environment designed for animal care and public engagement.

The project required structural solutions tailored to unique loading conditions, environmental exposure, and integration with immersive exhibit design. Leigh + O’Kane worked closely with the project team to develop systems that support the functional needs of the habitat while contributing to a safe and durable visitor experience.

This project reflects Leigh + O’Kane’s experience delivering structural engineering for highly specialized facilities, where coordination, technical precision, and thoughtful design are essential to successful outcomes.
