Hamburg bio school aquarium
ATL completes a project for the University of Hamburg Bio school aquarium
Following a successful tender bid, ATL has recently completed a project for the Hamburg bio school aquarium, which is part of the renowned University of Hamburg. We once again had pleasure working alongside trusted European partner, filtration specialist Aqua Sander Gmbh. Despite many obvious similarities to the requirements of public aquaria, involving the design, manufacture, delivery and installation of a series of new aquarium tanks, this was a project with a difference.
An example of our theming in progress
The Hamburg bio school site is a new build extension to the existing educational institution that will provide practical experience and hands on training to a wide range of industry professionals in the making. This amazing new facility is literally where tomorrows aquarium and zoo curators are born!
Throughout the fast track Hamburg bio school aquarium project we worked closely with the clients design team to ensure we could deliver the products to their exacting standards. Our in house design and production teams ensured that we delivered a product to the highest possible quality. In tank theming was styled around the clients specific references of differing mediums such as river bank mud and roots through to rock strata and formations.
