| Beaty Biodiversity Research Center Expansion Project
Things are changing at the Beaty! A significant expansion to the Beaty Biodiversity Research Centre, located next to the museum, will be happening this spring. The construction period starts in April 2023 and the conclusion will be in spring 2025. As with any major construction project, we anticipate delays and unforeseen circumstances – we may need to cancel or change our bookings and rentals at short notice. We thank you for your patience as we undergo this exciting transformation!
The Beaty Biodiversity Museum will remain open during the expansion period, and operations will continue as normal.
