Did this part of the zoo hold Barbary macaques as of just a couple of years ago? Was the giant panda exhibit built from scratch or was the primate enclosure used as a foundation?

It held Guinea baboons before the Pandas. It was originally built as an Ape House(for Gorillas and Orangutans) and not a very good one either. The two Panda outside areas are the old Ape outdoor areas, but radically converted/upgraded and landscaped and glass viewing windows added. Probably the best thing to happen to it.
