Smoot received the 2014 BX Craftsmanship Award Recipient for the installation of heavy lumber and carpentry work in the Heart of Africa exhibit at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium. Smoot Construction is highly specialized in timber framing elements. Photos of the craftsmanship hardly provide justice to the skills that were required to create the complex miters associated with the round timbers utilized. Smoot’s staff expertise, an eye for the quality and our ability to provide guidance, assured that the installation met and/or exceeded the needs of all CZA Stakeholders. “We appreciate all of Smoot Construction’s hard work on the Heart of Africa – and how good they were to work with. Especially at the end how your team stepped things up with all of the items being thrown in your direction.” Emily E. Wieringa, P.E., prior Director of Construction (Columbus Zoo and Aquarium)
