I doubt it will be touchable, the base is quite high. It will probably be a hot since it's a chimney for the heating plant. I think part of the reason a shiny surface is desirable is that it tends to dissipate the heat better.

This seems like a photo from someone who was at Doors Open Ottawa yesterday

I went from the Supreme Court to the Archives next door so had my first good look yesterday.

A little "Also sprach Zarathustra" and you could re-create the opening sequence of 2001.

I'm somewhat confused about the Gatineau plant. The building near the Printing Bureau and the building near the River are part of the same project (the Gatineau project, a opposed to Cliff and Tunney's)?

Cliff and Tunney's are definitely linked

They'll all be linked, of course, but Tunney's and Cliff are their own plants. My question is, are the Gatineau structures part of the same plant.

The Jacques-Cartier park structure is just a pumping station to get the water all the way to the Printing Bureau, it's not a "plant" in its own right.

Thought that roof would accessible, but they put a fence on it. Lame.

[J.OT13]

That fencing looks bad.

New crane in town

Smoke stack us shorter than I thought, which is good.

[Davis137]

Interesting...I had been wondering what was going on there (have only seen some of the construction materials and machinery in passing).

[zzptichka]

Are they fencing off the smoke stack? Booooo.
