The goal was to keep the animals safe and create an amazing aesthetic. The AEC team was incredibly detailed in planning and work to ensure the project was done safely and created the wow factor needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest aspect of the project was the 40-foot Kapok Tree in the heart of the exhibit. The tree required internal electricity, LED lighting and needed to be the centerpiece of the entire exhibit. Our electricians worked closely with the design-and-build teams to pull this off. The AEC team also had to work to conceal the electrical from attendees as well as the animals<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While 75 percent of the project was new, 25 percent consisted of renovating the existing great apes exhibit. The team used the foundation of the cave to showcase the architecture with interesting lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With electrical service to five buildings in different exhibits, this project enabled the team to show off our strategic planning abilities on a special project.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1083","electrician-projects","type-electrician-projects","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jacksonville Zoo- African Forest - American Electrical Contracting Commercial<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.american-electrical.com\/commercial\/electrician-projects\/jacksonville-zoo-african-forest\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Lighting the African Forest at the Jacksonville Zoo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Have you seen the 40-foot African Forest Kapok Tree at the Jacksonville Zoo?
