The Cleveland Botanical Garden, not having a conservatory structure, embarked on a building project in 2000 to design a new 10,000 sq.ft. Conservatory space and a complete rehabilitation and expansion of 8,000 sq.ft. of their existing library and administration buildings. This sixty foot high contemporary rendition of a glass enclosed conservatory space now houses two fragile environments: the desert of Madagascar and the cloud forest of Costa Rica.
