A new entrance to Winnipeg Zoo, designed to symbolise the rejuvenation of what was a very tired facility. The building is a single story structure with a central glazed box with a dramatic exposed roof. The interior space has a number of tree-like metal columns which branch outward as they travel upwards. The lighting of the roof looks particularly well at dusk or shortly after dark.

Map is being rolled out, not all buildings are mapped yet.
