Koi Pond Pavilion

Coal Valley, IL

Client: Niabi Zoo

Designer: Studio BNA Architects, Athens Georgia

Contract Amount: $280,000

Delivery Method: Construction Management / General Contracting

Summary: 

The new pavilion features a wood structure supported by driven wood piles, with stringers, decking, and railings for the two access bridges. The pavilion itself mirrors this wood construction and includes a standing seam roof. The lighting includes LED accents on the bridges and overhead LED fixtures in the pavilion. All wood surfaces have been treated with a light-colored stain to highlight their natural hues. To accommodate the construction, the pond was drained to allow for the demolition of the existing pavilion and the building of the new one.
