$7.5 million project slated to include two buildings and outdoor space with two playgrounds and area for children and adults to interact with variety of animals
The nonprofit Helen Woodward Animal Center broke ground on its Humane Education Village on Wednesday afternoon at its campus in Rancho Santa Fe.
The buildings will house the center’s humane education programs and Pet Encounter Therapy staff, animals and programs. Six themed classrooms are planned in the education center, including a Desert Room, Jungle and Woodland Room, Ocean Room, Tundra Room and Urban Pets Room.Classrooms will be on either side of the building connected by open walkways. The Ocean Room, for example, will have programs focusing on fish and sea life.
The construction on the buildings marks the third phase in the nonprofit’s estimated $50 million Campaign for Caring, which began in 2001 as part of an effort to rebuild the center’s older facilities, some of which have been there since the center opened its doors in 1972. Funding for the project came largely from Sharron MacDonald, the Jack and Marilyn McManama Charitable Trust, the Selander Foundation and the LaureL Foundation.
