The Puerto Rico Manatee Conservation Center is a research, education, rescue, and rehabilitation center established in 2009 in Puerto Rico in order to help endangered manatees to survive from extinction. The initial phase designed between 2010 and 2012 by the architect Andrés Mignucci consisted of the development of a series of laboratories, three of rehabilitation tanks with their respective pump room and filters. This new project consisted of the extension of existing facilities in search of more space and the need of the client to create two new areas; the aquaponic farm and the new zone for quarantine tanks. Having a site area with limited space, it was proposed to develop both areas on two existing parking areas. This allowed the access and connection of both zones with the existing one.
