Roto/LZA has had the opportunity to design visitor centers around the globe that are intended to introduce visitors - often tourists - to a unique destination.  From a marine sanctuary welcome center in Hawaii to an Eco-Discovery Center in Key West, Florida, our goals are to welcome visitors, orient them, provide them with a preview of what this destination has to offer.  In our history and cultural centers, we balance artifacts, interpretation, media and theming in order to attract, engage, and excite a wide range of learning styles and interests. Our science and nature centers encourage visitors to discover the wonders of the world around them and hopefully empower them to make a difference in their world.
