Scovill Pavilion began its life (circa 1948) as a summer cottage on Lake Decatur for Rose and Guy Scovill.  Later donated to the Decatur Park District, the historic building was in need of extensive improvements to fulfill a valuable role as a year-round meeting place for various organizations.  The cottage and surrounding Oriental Gardens are being renovated with Park District Funds and a gift from a local manufacturing company.  Improvements include the installation of heating, air conditioning, hot water, energy-efficient windows, and handicapped access.  Landscaping and gardens will be planted to connect the cottage and its re-established picnic grounds to the nearby Oriental Gardens and gazebo.  A new patio will also be added overlooking one of the best views on Lake Decatur.
Other services for this park include the design of a 4,500 sq. ft. animal holding/quarantine facility for the Scovill Children’s Zoo.  This facility, and a food preparation building also designed by BWC, will serve as key components in helping the zoo achieve accreditation from the American Zoological Association AZA).
	The animal holding/quarantine building allows for housing animals through the winter months, and provides quarters for treatment of sick or injured animals.  The design challenge was to combine an aesthetically pleasing building that was both durable and cost efficient while meeting AZA accreditation requirements.
