The new snow leopard enclosure at the Calgary Zoo is taking shape, and one of its most important features is something most visitors will never see up close: the massive structural steel posts that support the tent-style roofing element. These custom-built posts form the backbone of the entire design, providing the strength needed to hold up overhead coverings and withstand Calgary’s challenging weather.

Built for durability and long-term performance, the steel framework allows the zoo to create a safe, natural, and enriching habitat for the snow leopards while giving visitors clear, immersive views. As redevelopment progresses, these posts quietly play one of the most important roles, ensuring the enclosure stands strong for years to come.
