With a price tag of $30 million, Detroit Zoo’s new Polk Penguin Conservation Center is the largest penguin facility in the world. Featuring a 326,000-gallon, 25-foot-deep aquatic area with two acrylic underwater tunnels and a 38-foot-long underwater viewing window — visitors can watch penguins as they dive, swim and navigate 
through the technological marvel that is now home to 82 birds.
When the zoo expressed their need for penguin examination tables, Oak Park-based Mopec stepped in and worked with habitat designers to customize, build and donate two “penguin specific” tables.
Customized to accommodate the birds’ height, weight and wingspan, the tables were built into the walls of two medical management rooms within the exhibit – giving veterinarians and zoo technicians comfortable access to the birds during examinations.
