Description
The exhibit features polar bear habitats with underwater viewing, plus Arctic wolves, Canadian lynx, and bald eagles, and converted the zoo's former gift shop into an Arctic Conservation Center for climate-change educational programming. Buffalo-based Foit-Albert Associates served as architect of record; Seattle-based Pat Jankowski Architects & Landscape Architects also contributed to the design per contemporaneous press coverage, though the landscape-architecture role has no matching entry in the current roles vocabulary and is not recorded as a credit here.
