Charlotte-based general contractor Hendrick Construction has won a $6 million contract to expand the North Carolina Zoo’s polar bear exhibit.

The company announced the award this week.

Hendrick will build a 5,500-square-foot holding facility with a maternity den, a 4,500-square-foot visitor building and an 800-square-foot interpretive viewing shelter for visitors.

Raleigh-based HH Architecture is the project architect.

The new exhibit will open in the spring of 2013.
