Multiple recent zoo/aquarium openings independently confirmed: Australia and the Lorikeets exhibit at ABQ BioPark (Jul 2024), Dolphin Oasis at Gulfarium (Mar 2024), Explorers Cove at Georgia Aquarium (Aug 2024), and the Orlando Wetlands Visitor Center (Apr 2025); continued operation as a themed-construction/fabrication contractor for major theme park and museum clients (Disney, Universal) as of this check; acquired by general contractor PCL in May 2023, which did not end independent operations under the Nassal name. Note: the firm's own site's stated project years were independently found unreliable on multiple checked projects during the 2026-07-19 portfolio screen — status here rests on independently sourced openings, not Nassal's own dates.
