Welcome to the wilder side of GLMV, where our dedicated team is reimagining today’s zoos. We’re on the forefront of immersive design, working tirelessly to enhance both the guest experience and the quality of life for animals. Our team knows that zoos are uniquely poised to promote conservation efforts and public interest in issues that may otherwise seem a world away. And that’s just what we do, through barrier-breaking exhibits, master planning and business advising, large-scale landscaping, and design for front entries, foodservice, and education centers. In this studio, projects are inspired by nature, and designed by GLMV.
