Oakwoods Metroparks Nature Center

Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority

Taylor Studios partnered with the Huron Clinton Metropolitan Authority to design and install highly flexible exhibits for the Oakwoods Nature Center. Honoring the land’s history and the Wyandot people, the project included a custom live turtle enclosure, a fully themed nature diorama, and interactive, educational areas for children.

Our design-build approach allowed us to create displays that are both visually stunning and fully functional. We incorporated mobile, themed animal enclosures with changeable graphics and movable seating, giving the Nature Center staff ultimate flexibility for events and programming. The result is an engaging, multipurpose space that draws in visitors of all ages and interests.
