Woops! I see okapikpr already posted this info. My apologies. (I can't find a way to delete the thread.)

A very unimaginative exhibit, no matter how many of the drawings you open!

Im surprised its being built right at the entrance...I though it was to be built between the tropics house and the elephant exhibit according to a masterplan i saw.

This post really made my day! Very interesting to look at the building plans. Thanks a lot Zooplantman!

BTW:
It also made me discover this exceptionally interesting thread from 2008:

The Kansas City Zoo has finally broken ground on this $10 million exhibit, and it is set to open next summer. Perhaps it can solve the zoo's problem with declining attendance, and that seems to be the main ambition according to the video link on the news report.
