CTV Building, Television station headquarters in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The building consisted of six stories with a ground-level parking area and offices distributed across multiple floors at Cashel Street and Madras Street intersection.
After the February 2011 earthquake measuring 6.3 magnitude, the structure collapsed, resulting in 115 casualties, which represented 60 percent of the total earthquake fatalities.
Canterbury Television produced more than twenty hours of regional programming weekly, including broadcasts from Deutsche Welle and Al Jazeera international networks.
The building housed Canterbury Television on levels one and two, while King's Education language school operated on the fourth level until February 2011.
The Royal Commission investigation revealed that Gerald Shirtcliff, who supervised the building's construction, had stolen the identity of a retired engineer from the United Kingdom.
