    On June 1st, the center announced they broke ground on a new 200,000-square-foot building called the Oschin Air and Space Center, which when completed will make its three-phase three-decade master plan finished.*

    *Not specifically animal news, but important to add that once the building is completed, they will be moving all the space stuff from the old building to the new, freeing up new space for potential exhibits (my speculation at least).
