Man, my wife started her federal government career in that building...it's going to look very different when it's done. Does anyone know if the central atrium and waterfall are being kept? I always really liked seeing that (when it was running) there whenever I went to visit my wife on lunch breaks.
Nothing earth shattering but it looks pretty good, especially for a gov building. Will add some much needed modernity to Gatineau's skyline, along with the TdlC re-clad.
Just realized this project was still marked as "Proposed". Updated now.
Looks quite good. I will somewhat miss the 70s and 80s look of these Federal Complexes, but at the same time, this is much needed to modernize the skyline.

I'm just glad that Phase iv isn't part of the reclad. That has always been my favourite of the brutalist buildings in Gatineau.
I'm curious what they will be doing with the concrete stairwell exteriors or whatever it is they are. Please tell me they will get some type of treatment and not be like those awful barcode towers on Bronson.

Windows are already barcode-esque, so yeah, really hoping for something solid and uniform for the stairwells.
