What is the ZEC?
(Zoological Education Centre)
The ZEC brings the Amazon and the Outback to the Shuttleworth College campus, transporting students and visitors to the wild to create a truly immersive experience, allowing students to engage with the modern learning environment and develop hands-on skills with a range of species.
The ZEC is one of the only of its kind, within a further education setting, to offer a state-of-the-art tropical biome which houses a wide variety of species – including birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals – in environments that replicate their natural habitat.
