Sir John A. Macdonald Building
Sir John A. Macdonald Building, Federal heritage building at Wellington Street, Ottawa, Canada
The limestone and granite structure features three street frontages, with the main entrance on Wellington Street facing the Parliament's West Block.
The Bank of Montreal commissioned architect E.I. Barott to design this Beaux-Arts building, which opened its doors in 1930.
The exterior limestone carvings depict Canadian industries and commerce instead of traditional classical figures, representing national economic development.
The building serves as a conference facility for the House of Commons, offering spaces for parliamentary meetings and ceremonial functions.
The structure earned five Green Globes for environmental performance through features like LED lighting, water conservation, and a plant-covered roof.
