Award-winning Fresno architect, Arthur Dyson, AIA, dean emeritus of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, has designed a state-of-the-art facility (rendering above) for the nonprofit 501(c)(3) Aquarius Aquarium Institute.
The 10-acre site, generously donated to the Institute by the Roy and Betty Jura family, closed escrow in August 2006 after the Aquarium plans won the unanimous approval of the Fresno County Planning Commission. The property overlooks the San Joaquin River and is adjacent to Highway 99 at the northern entrance to Fresno County. see site photos & map
Currently, the Institute is working to prepare the land for the future Aquarium and win approval from LAFCo to bring water and sewer lines into the property from the nearby City of Fresno. We hope you will join us in supporting this important educational project for the entire San Joaquin Valley! To view pictures of the site work Click Here
