Part botanical garden, part butterfly house, part wet lab, part teaching kitchen — the Rocky Mountain Gardens and G.W. Marks Exploration Center defies simple classification. This multi-faceted Missoula development connects visitors with nature, sustainable horticulture, and Western Montana's rural heritage across a stunning array of spaces.

Axiom designed the Mechanical and Plumbing systems for a facility where no two rooms have the same environmental needs. High-efficiency ventilation for labs and classrooms. Cutting-edge chilled beam systems for the butterfly house. Climate control precise enough to keep both visitors comfortable and hundreds of species of flora and fauna thriving — engineering in service of wonder.
