There are many many buildings to unlock in Let's Build a Zoo.

• 

  Management Office

  Access tasks and your collection. My note: Such a blah building. Why does it look like a shed?

• 

  Research Hub

  Researchers use this building to discover new upgrades for your zoo. You can only have one Research Hub in your zoo. My note: You can access the research tree from the quick menu, so feel free to put this building off to the side.

• 

  CRISPR Splicer

  Create entirely new species of animals using your mapped genome data and the power of CRISPR. My note: Honestly, a really cool building. At first I put it in the middle of my zoo, but I moved it to my employee area. Relucantly.

• 

  Store Room

  The store room holds food for your animals. Note, you can only have one of these in your zoo. My note: Because your zookeepers need to access this every single day, put it near a subway or somewhere central.

• Info Kiosk

  Having an Information Kiosk in your zoo guarantees that your visitors will stay for longer, as they will have a better idea what to see. My note: Cannot believe you can't customize the colors.

• Nursery

  Use selective breeding to discover new animal types and help map each species genome. My note: Wish this were accessible from the switch quick menu - I access it constantly!

• Vet Office

  Build this to hire vets to check up on your animals health and treat them when ill! My note: I built this and immediately forgot I even had vets at the zoo.

• Incinerator

  Burn deceased animals to dispose of unsightly corpses. My note: Build one of these BEFORE you have an animal die. As a power move, I put my incinerator in the middle of my zoo.

• Wind Turbine

  Generate electricity in a green way! My note: Can't believe how easy it is to build these compared to real life. Plus apparently they are noiseless and unobtrusive!

• Water Tower

  Collect water ecologically, and avoid paying the local water company. My note: Another incredible technological marvel. A water tower, cheap and easy to install!

• Recycling Center

  It costs money to get your trash collected by garbage trucks, generate less CO2 and turn your trash into profits by building recycling centers. My note: This allows you to create plastic for your gift shop out of the recycling you get from your recycling bins!

• Release Hub

  Reintroduce animals into the wild - help bring back biodiversity, and make animal populations thrive again. My note: Such a blah building. Why does it look like a shed?

• 

  Quantum Accelerator

  Enlarge your bus capacity with science My note: Apparently allows you to add 5 extra seats to all your buses. You have to do this as an extra step after building the accelerator, but the upgrades are permanent forever.

• Population Hub

  Control your animal population sizes with this building. My note: This building is super important for a happy zoo. It's all the way on the right. View my tips for more info.

• Warehouse

  Products from your farms or factories will be placed here to be sold for potentially huge profits. My note: Extra produce, milk, eggs, and so forth goes here, and a truck will automatically pick them up for purchase each week.

• Farm Plot

  Plant and grow crops to feed your animals. If you work hard enough you can become fully self-sufficient and build a farming empire. My note: Additional seeds have to be researched as part of the research tree.

• Farmhouse

  Employ farmers to grow crops in your zoo. My note: Comes bundled with the farm plot when you unlock farming.

• Barn

  Get milk from your cows the morally right way! My note: You just add cows to the building, you don't have to keep a separate enclosure.

• Chicken Coop

  Get eggs from your chickens in a natural and organic way. Happy chickens, make happy eggs. My note: Yes, there's a non-natural, non-organic way to get these eggs...

• Beer Brewery

  Convert hops into craft beer to be sold in your shops or exported from your warehouse. My note: Cannot wait to build my beer empire.
