A eulogy for the Sir John Carling Building<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sir John Carling Building<\/a> of 930 Carling Avenue was imploded in a\u00a0<\/span>controlled demolition at 7:00 am on Sunday, July 13.<\/span>

It was completed in 1967 based on a design by Ottawa architect Hart\u00a0<\/span>Massey. Massey’s prominence as a Canadian designer was linked to his role\u00a0<\/span>in bringing Modern architecture to the highly traditional architectural\u00a0<\/span>landscape of mid-century Ottawa. The Carling Building was designated a\u00a0<\/span>“recognized” federal heritage building<\/a> by the Federal Heritage Buildings\u00a0<\/span>Review Office in 2004.\u00a0<\/span>It was noteworthy as a transitional design,\u00a0combining 1950s International Style massing and the more articulated\u00a0concrete facade of later styles. It was an also an example of the\u00a0decentralized federal office campuses recommended in the 1950 Greber Plan.<\/p>\n

The Carling Building housed the offices of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada\u00a0<\/span>(AAFC) for 42 years. The west annex will remain and eventually revert to\u00a0<\/span>AAFC custody.<\/span><\/p>\n
