Most of us know the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. It's pretty nice and also the 'mall aquarium' because it's an aquarium with the view of a mall, due to the escalators and the balcony atrium  This aquarium, however, is near River Street which is way far from the original aquarium. The Savannah Georgia Aquarium (SGA) is would be part of the Georgia Aquarium franchise from the looks of it. The SGA would be smaller and also it has a similar size connection to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, except, that SGA would be larger. The 3-4 story aquarium has three floors of exhibit and the fourth floor for staff only. The aquarium has a planetarium (for marine and underwater view), a main atrium, several exhibit halls, a upper floor auditorium, a gift shop of course, a Cinnabon food court (or just a food court), several lobbies, and also an underwater river tunnel exhibit. That's what's great about the aquarium, The river exhibit. You can walk into the tunnels lodged through the river and see the water all the way around.     

This picture just above shows the sides of the building. The top is the front, the left is the left side, the middle is the right side, and the right is the back side of the building. This does NOT include the river tunnel for it's lodged under the river. These are just exterior view plans.

Watch this video of the SGA slideshow. It shows more pictures, info, and also clears points about the aquarium. It will show you final pictures, shape structures, the map of the aquarium, and also the river tunnel etc. So, Enjoy. 

For those who can't play the movie, Here is the directory of the aquarium. From Level zero to four. Don't let this confuse you. These exhibits and rooms are NOT as huge as you think. The roof comes from the fourth floor, The planetarium level ends before the third floor and so does the west exhibit, The first level of the planetarium level only leads you to more exhibits including the River tunnel. The River tunnel will take you into the river and all the way across to the west exhibit in a balcony room, where you can reach from level zero to one. Cinnabon also has two places to order; You can enter from the front and order there, or if you're in the aquarium and had your ticket torn already, there is a concession stand from the same Cinnabon inside. The exhibits do not include emergency areas(except maybe the river tunnel), The lines also separate by exhibit, not by room or space. You also don't see door entrances or exits from outside. This is just a 'Pre-draft' if you want to look at it that way. You can at least tell where the main stairs, the main elevators and escalators, and also the main points of the aquarium are located. 

The reason I designed this was because I visited the Aquarium of the Smokies recently in Tennessee and since I've notice there being two aquariums in Tennessee, I thought to make a second urban aquarium in Georgia. I've visited the Tennessee Aquarium in 2005, and also the new Georgia Aquarium in 2006. What I liked about the Tennessee Aquarium was that it was an aquarium with a more one-way long adventure tour. The Georgia Aquarium was like a mall of aquariums. You go into an inside mall and one of the tenants would be a shark exhibit or something. What's also great about many aquariums are the tunnels. The Georgia Aquarium and the Aquarium of the Smokies had tunnels in their aquarium. Tennessee Aquarium also had an escalator that ran for meters until you reached the highest floor which was the start of the one-way hours long tour. These ideas started to mix up and then, SGA happened. 

Here is also a commercial I did of a fish drawing that goes with the aquarium.
