We're majorly bummed to say goodbye to the coolest intern around 😎

Nicco is pursuing a Master of Architecture degree at and it's been amazing having him at MIG | Portico this summer. He's been a huge help and wonderful presence in the office.

So great, in fact, that he has been gifted with this really cool giraffe hat 🦒because of his work on a recent zoo project (among many other things!)

You'll be missed, Nicco!!

The Jilkaat Kwaan Heritage Center and Bald Eagle Observatory project is one of those rare and wonderful occasions. We were honored to be a part of this endeavor.

Busch Gardens Jungala in Tampa, FL, "best described as a jungle playground," was voted #1 in the top 10 Most Unique Zoo Sections in America by zoonation.org!
