Living Planet Aquarium grand opening delayed by construction
Quote:
The 136,000-square-foot building on Lone Peak Parkway isn't filled with the marine life and field-tripping elementary school students expected to be there by now.
The Loveland Living Planet Aquarium representatives hoped the Draper facility would be up and running by the end of December, but the project has been plagued with delays and setbacks.
Now the organization is in "extreme financial hardship," according to a statement from Brent Andersen, founder and CEO of the aquarium.
In September, the Sandy location closed, and much of the marine life was moved to a temporary location in a warehouse. Early construction schedules projected opening dates ranging from early December to Dec. 21.

Broadbent said the aquarium is getting close to completion but as of now has "no solid opening date."
