Environmental Features
As part of the City of Edmonton's commitment to the environment, the exhibit was created with many sustainable features, including:
- Green roof to minimize storm water runoff
- Capturing storm water and treating it on site using streams and natural wetlands
- Treating the water in the seal/sea lion pools on site with a combination of mechanical equipment and subsurface saltwater wetland so it can be reused in the animals' aquatic home
- Drought-tolerant planting
- Dark-sky-compliant exterior lighting
