пресс-релиз:
The Government of Canada (Canada) is intending to redevelop a building complex referred to as “Block 2” of the Parliamentary Precinct in Canada’s Capital city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
The Block 2 site is the city block in front of the Centre Block and Peace Tower, Canada’s main parliament building. Block 2 is in the foreground of Parliament Hill, a world-renowned ensemble of unique neo-gothic buildings, and establishes the threshold between “Town and Crown”. The site is bounded by Metcalfe Street to the east, O’Connor Street to the west, Wellington Street to the north and Sparks Street to the south.
The winning architectural design solution is expected to contribute to the overall redevelopment of the “South of Wellington” portion of the Parliamentary campus, and positively contribute to the objectives established in the Long-Term Vision and Plan (LTVP) for the Parliamentary Precinct. The LTVP is an evolving planning framework established since 2001 in cooperation between the Science and Parliamentary Infrastructure Branch of Public Services and Procurement Canada, the Senate of Canada, the House of Commons of Canada, the Library of Parliament, the National Capital Commission (NCC), and the City of Ottawa.
