U.S. Embassy
The
new 12,819 square meter U.S. Embassy Office Building incorporates offices
for Embassy departments and tenant agencies of the U.S. Government currently
located in a number of buildings in Ottawa. Located on the last site in
the Parliament Hill zone, the building needed to respond to complex urban
design contexts on each of its four sides: the Byward Market and the "Town"
to the east; to the north, the Peacekeeping Monument and the turning of
the Ceremonial Parade Route around the monument from Sussex Drive to MacKenzie
Avenue; the Federal district or "Crown" with its dramatic and monumental
buildings as well as Major's Hill Park and the dramatic views of the river
and beyond to the west; and finally, the York Steps and the connection
of the Town and Crown to the south. Click here for more information. |
