Sir John Carling Building, Government building at Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Canada
The Sir John Carling Building consisted of an 11-story tower, a three-story shipping wing, and a one-story cafeteria wing near Dow's Lake.
Completed in 1967 for 10 million Canadian dollars, the structure served as the national headquarters for federal agriculture until its closure in 2009.
The Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office designated this modernist structure as a recognized heritage building in 2004 for its architectural and historical importance.
The building accommodated 1,200 employees and consolidated agricultural administrative functions that were previously scattered across 18 different locations in Ottawa.
After the 2014 controlled demolition, workers pulverized the concrete and covered the site with topsoil and trees, preserving only the cafeteria wing.
