Seattle Aquarium\u2019s New Addition Speaks To Environmental Stewardship<\/h1>\n\n\n

2024 Best of Year Winner for Environmental Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Organic design inspired by ecology defines LMN Architects<\/a>\u2019s 50,000-square-foot Ocean Pavilion addition for Seattle Aquarium, an institution committed to ocean conservation. Expansive glazing\u2014including an iconic oculus\u2014bathes interior spaces in natural light, illuminating marine exhibits like the 500,000-gallon reef housing 120 species. Green materials, from carpet made of recycled fishing nets to recycled-paper Richlite paneling, reflect a commitment to environmental stewardship, while every detail, from the dichroic acrylic accents and exposed mechanicals to working with Indigenous consultants, speaks to transparency, inclusion, and interconnectedness. Behind the scenes, sustainable practices include all-electric operation systems and optimizing seawater usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
