Scope note(s)

  • The Zoo's Education Department and Centre for Life Studies is used for the education of school parties, teachers and others, including zoo staff. It is in the far north western corner of the Zoo ground, off the track of most visitors, and on a site that allows access outside of Zoo hours. Built 1973-1975, partly funded by the Wolfson Foundation; Sir Hugh Casson, Neville Conder and Partners (Anthony Reich), architects; W M Glendinning Limited, contractors. The two-storey north-west wing, the Centre for Life Studies, was an afterthought. It was originally an Inner London Education Authority Teachers' Centre and was designed with spaces for tuition, research and the accommodation of small animals
