Ottawa Convention Centre - the resting tulip
The Ottawa Convention Centre is designed with Canada’s largest curved glass. The wall features 1,045 triangular glass sheets, each a different size in order to allow for curvature horizontally and vertically. The glass panels are intricately placed in each section of a complex crystalline-shaped steel structure, and form the outer skin of the new building, measuring 30 metres high and 90 metres long. The glass panels allow for breathtaking views of the Parliament Buildings, the Rideau Canal and Ottawa’s downtown core while allowing passersby to view the dynamic experience inside the new convention centre. A bold, modern design, a bright naturally-lit interior, magnificent views...the all-new Ottawa Convention Centre offers unparalleled, environmentally-responsible setting and support for Ottawa conventions, conferences, meetings and exhibits – large and small. Its 100 ft. / 31 m. high sweeping window façade faces the Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage Site and Parliament Hill.
