Doon Heritage Crossroads in Waterloo, Ontario has an "award winning" new (3
years old) curatorial, conservation and storage facility.

The curatorial/conservation/storage phase of AMERC (the American Maritime
Education and Research Center), a new facility at Mystic Seaport, is
nearing completion and should be ready for visitors in the fall.  The next
two phases, the boat hall and the visitor use area are in the planning
stage.  As a gauge of the size of the project, when the concrete was poured
for the floor of phase one, we determined that an acre of floor space was
being created.
