Helen Schuler Nature Centre - 2014 - Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada - Dated Architectural Structures Multifarious on Waymarking.com

Originally built in 1982 in Lethbridge's Indian Battle Park, the large plaque prominently located at the entrance of the current building denotes the completion and opening of a larger, fully renovated building in 2014, following $4.5M in renovations and upgrades:

The project consists of a renovation and an approximate 500 sq. m. expansion of the existing building. Additional space will improve working conditions for staff and volunteers, meet increasing public demand, and allow for future programming opportunities. The expansion will modernize the facility, enhance services, improve accessibility and demonstrate sustainable building practices. Larger tours and multiple user groups will be accommodated. Gallery space will support future growth of the cultural sector, foster and strengthen new audiences and provide much needed space to display travelling science or technology based exhibits. Improved office and storage will allow student internship programs to be developed.

By 1984, more space was needed, so an additional programming room and offices were added.
