When you do your take-offs it might make sense to only include areas the animals have access to if you goal is comparisons. I have compared some entries to the actual sizes of the exhibits (based on construction plans) and there are huge discrepancies. I assume that you are including moats, etc. that animals are prevented from going into. So when comparing one lion exhibit to another, for example, you may not really be comparing "apples to apples"
I did this for every single US Lion exhibit and I only included moats if the animals had access to them.
OK I have, however, almost always found all the construction designs on the council websites, so I was wondering if you did it the same way.
No. But that is much more difficult to do in the USA and many other countries than in the UK where planning councils have sway
Oh, I have found San Diego's and Cincinnati's construction designs through some careful navigation of messy websites...
