The Ottawa Citizen’s Meghan Hurley and many curious residents are on site as the old federal building is demolished on Sunday, July 13, 2014.
The 11-storey building, located along Carling Avenue at the Central Experimental Farm, was opened in 1967, Canada’s centennial year. Until 2010 it served as the headquarters for Agriculture Canada. Noted for its modernist architectural style, the building has been recognized for its significant historical associations and its environmental values.
Nevertheless, the building was deemed in 2009 to be at the end of its useful life. Hence, on Sunday, the building — named after John Carling, a one-time member of prime minister John A. Macdonald’s government — will be reduced to 40,000 tonnes of rubble with some well-timed detonations.
