Due to the amendment of the husbandry guidelines for rhinos, Cologne Zoo is planning to modernize the entire existing bison and musk facilities in a sustainable and future-oriented way for the rhinos.

ZOOQUARIUMDESIGN has been commissioned with the general planning and implementation of the redesign and expansion of the visitor and enclosure areas. As part of the redesign of the outdoor enclosure areas, wooden log cabins will be redesigned for future use as weatherproof stables and upgraded in line with the preservation of historical monuments. In addition to the visitor path, three large barrier-free visitor terraces will invite visitors to linger and observe the animals undisturbed, one of which will be covered over its entire surface area.
