ahead of its 100th anniversary in 2030. The Shedd will remain open during construction, with new exhibits and programs introduced on a rolling basis.The Shedd plans to transform its North Gallery into a 40-foot tunnel, where Nickel will live in a warm saltwater environment alongside blacktip reef sharks, goliath grouper fish and a new addition to the aquarium — spotted eagle rays, according to Coughlin.
There’s also planned renovations to the Amazon Rising gallery, which will help visitors get up close to the animals. Andrew Pulver, the vice president of animal care, said the aquarium will provide more than twice the volume of water for the arapaima, a freshwater fish that can grow up to 10 feet long.
Another addition by summer 2026 will be the Lakeside Learning Studio. Coughlin anticipates moving its education spaces up from the basement will help it engage with 50,000 more students every year. She said the “bright, sunny space” will have space to accommodate more classes and field trips, and help kids learn about topics from microplastics to hagfish slime to sea kelp.
