This 2,000 square-foot aquarium went through a complete makeover to make a small space work to its fullest potential and provide an educational resource to the residents of Manhattan Beach.

An expansive donor recognition program was also designed for the aquarium — from large scale animals within the terrazzo floor, gallery intro panels, an immersive kelp forest wall with fish, and a geometric fish wall — allowing them to stay open and free to the public for years to come.
