hildren will soon learn about the natural world and engage in creative play under the soaring stage structure which once echoed with the music of U2 on their acclaimed 360° tour. U2’s massive outdoor stage, formerly known as “the Claw,” has been permanently installed as the new Ecosystem Exploration Craft and Observatory (EECO) at Loveland Living Planet Aquarium (LLPA.) The structure was erected on the nine-acre lot south of the main building as part of Loveland Living Planet Aquarium’s Science Learning Campus expansion. “We always wanted an iconic landmark to punctuate how excited we are about our mission,” said Heather Doggett, vice president of operations. As Brent Anderson, aquarium founder and CEO, summed up, the mission of the aquarium is “to inspire people to explore, discover and learn about Earth’s diverse ecosystems,” and to understand that all are interconnected as one global ecosystem, the living planet. In experiencing the sense of wonder and awe inspired by the massive EECO, “we want to get people thinking about what it means to be involved in something bigger than yourself,” said Doggett.
