The architecture of the building is striking, with lots of glass (the norm these days) but a low-relief style that blends in well with the desert-like backdrop. David, thanks for uploading photos of this facility and in particular I find it fascinating to see the dinosaur bones underneath glass on the floor of one of the galleries.

Yes, the architecture is striking. The inside hall is designed to resemble a canyon-scape. It is a "green building" with a "green roof" like the California Academy of Sciences. The roof is planted with native vegetation.

That architecture looks very similar to our local Audobon Center in Dallas.
