Description
So has coaxed me into starting to upload stuff again.

In this case, it's something I've been dithering with on-off for a while; a Minecraft recreation of Zoo Tycoon 2's Extinct Research Lab!
Originally, I was planning on putting this together for use in modded MC games that use the Fossils & Archaeology Revival mod, but instead I adapted the design from the mod's Academy structure as a lab.
So this just concept just sat about gathering dust, until Tote got me inspired enough to actually get around to building it.

I can't say it's a perfect reproduction, as there is the obvious issue of Minecraft being composed of 1x1x1m cubes, and the fact the original design in Zoo Tycoon 2 has opaque windows, so no interior detail is visible, and the building's scale in-game is pretty off, making scale recreation difficult.
The interior layout is really guesswork, loosely based upon what can be seen in ZT2's Fossil-Building and Animal Creation modes and adapted into equivalents for the Fossil & Archaeology mod.
If anyone can offer suggestions for improvement, then I welcome the input.

Oh, before I forget, I am using a custom texture pack, so some textures may not look right. If anyone wants to know what blocks were used in its construction, just ask.
