The Shedd Aquarium will officially be 100 years old in 2030!
According to ABC 7 Chicago, construction work on the Shedd Aquarium will begin in a few weeks and is expected to be done in four phases over four years.
Shedd Aquarium officials, joined by Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, detailed a new lakeside learning studio for students, new exhibits, and a renovated 35-foot tunnel for underwater creatures.
"Shedd is building on its legacy and in doing so it's generating significant economic impact, and jobs as its vision for itself in 2030 comes to life," said Pritzker. "Its latest expansion reminds us all why Shedd leads in on the national stage in conservation and environmental education."
Chicago can't wait to see the new and improved Shedd!
