New Construction on the State Fairgrounds

Highlights of this year’s fairgrounds improvement projects include:

• New Pet Pavilions and Outdoor Demonstration Area: A 6,600-square-foot open-air pavilion located just west of the former Pet Center will house purebred dog breed booths and the Pet Surgery Suite, where Minnesota Veterinary Medical Association members perform spay and neuter surgeries. A neighboring structure will feature merchants selling pet-centric treats and accessories. Agility, obedience and police K-9 demonstrations will be showcased in a new grassy outdoor demonstration area. Pet Pavilions are open daily, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
   
• New Restroom Building: With 54 toilets, 32 sinks, 22 urinals, 18 family restrooms, eight drinking fountains and four water bottle refill stations, a new restroom building is being constructed on the south side of Murphy Avenue between Underwood and Cooper streets. This structure is the sixth major restroom facility built on the fairgrounds in the last 10 years.
