The framework was then filled in with over 3,000 individual clear acrylic panels that assist in controlling the tropical atmosphere inside the building.

Above the stage, a mechanized canopy of 43 individually controlled acrylic panels can be adjusted to fine-tune sound for clarity and reverberation.

Each aquarium was constructed using a durable fiberglass structure; while crystal-clear acrylic panels 1.5 in thick are used for the viewing windows that run the entire length of the aquariums.

Parabolic reflectors on the back side of the mirror would then direct the sunlight through the acrylic panels to brilliantly illuminate the honorees' names with sunlight.
