⚒️ @ Work 2016 Parliament Hill Construction In Ottawa🪖 Canada 🍁

The Centre Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa is undergoing a significant restoration and modernization project. This project is one of the largest and most complex heritage building renovations in Canada2. Here are some key updates:

Excavation and Support: The project involves extensive excavation under the Centre Block to build a new underground Parliament Welcome Centre. A temporary structure has been built to support the building during this phase1.

Earthquake Protection: The Centre Block is located in an active earthquake zone, so the project includes measures to make the building more resilient to seismic activity.

Heritage Restoration: Many heritage elements are being restored and preserved, including the removal of toxic asbestos and refurbishing of historic artifacts.

Completion Timeline: The project is expected to be completed by 2031, with the Centre Block reopening to the public by 2032.
