Scope: Rated one of the “10 Best Aquariums in the U.S.” by Travel + Leisure and USA Today, New Orlean’s Audubon Aquarium is a bustling museum teeming with more than 3,600 sea creatures from around the world, including everything from white alligators and moon jellyfish to potbellied seahorses and river otters. To help highlight the museum’s more than 250 species of marine life, Sightline Commercial Solutions custom engineered and installed a 735-sq.-ft. glass bridge featuring a 1 and 5/16”-thick walking surface. Made of triple laminated frosted glass panels for enhanced durability and a stylish, modern look, the bridge adds an element of excitement and novelty by providing visitors with a unique and immersive experience that allows them to view exhibits from various angles and perspectives as they traverse the aquarium. This design choice creates enhanced visibility and a memorable journey through the facility that has become paramount to the aquarium’s overall success. Additionally, 256 linear feet of custom designed glass Track Rail™ along staircases, overlooks and marine exhibits enhances safety while optimizing the viewing experience for visitors of all ages.
