The primary conference room at the MCZ, previously known as the Agassiz Room, was renamed in honor of Robert A. Gilbert.  Gilbert (1869–1942), was one of the earliest natural history photographers in North America but was not acknowledged as such during his lifetime. [A plaque honoring Gilbert](/Gilbert) is on display in the room.
