The document outlines design proposals and concepts for the Narragansett Bay Aquarium located in the turbine hall of the former South Street Station building. It includes sketches of specimen placement, digital collages visualizing exhibit spaces like the main ocean tank, and descriptions of how visitors will experience different areas featuring schools of fish, jellyfish, and more. Signage and displays will guide visitors through the striper's life cycle from lake to river to ocean.
