Aquaquest - the Marilyn Blusson Learning Centre

An environmentally friendly building in the making

Most of the pages on this web site are about animals. This page is about concrete. Read on – we think you’ll like it.

Why is the Vancouver Aquarium excited about concrete? Well, we're busy making an environmentally friendly building - a "green" building. Green buildings are a great way for people to protect animals and ecosystems. And if it protects animals, we’re interested!

Our favourite green features of the new building:

	Rainwater Flushing Toilets Low-flow loos that flush with rain we collect from the roof
	A Wall Crawling with Bugs A "living wall" of plants designed to be insect friendly
	Concrete Of course!
	Seawater Cooling A Vancouver Aquarium specialty
	Front End Loader Sized Recycling We're recycling an entire building
