.shedd_aquarium is kicking off its “most significant physical transformation” in recent history as part of a $500 million re-imagining project. The renovation will introduce new learning studios and exhibits and more.
The changes come as part of the aquarium’s Centennial Commitment project, which was launched last year and is set to be completed ahead of the aquarium’s centennial anniversary in 2030.
The first phase of the transformation — which is scheduled to last from summer 2023 to summer 2024 — will include renovating the aquarium’s welcome plaza, four acres of outdoor gardens and atrium, while adding a dual-habitat freshwater and saltwater system in the rotunda, which officials said will serve as the “beating heart” of the aquarium.
Officials believe that with this space, the aquarium will be able to engage up to 50,000 additional students — for a total of 230,000 — each year. “It can’t be overstated that the Shedd Aquarium is certainly the crown jewel of our city and this state,” Mayor Brandon Johnson said Tuesday. “You bring the city together, you bring this state together, you bring people around the world to this location.”
