The 180 Wellington project adapts a 1927/1959 office building into space for the House of Commons. The Beaux Arts building shell and the few remaining character defining heritage rooms on the ground floor are restored and provide inspiration for the design of the rest of the facility. A new atrium with a green wall, spiral stair and a three-storey escalator recreates a previous lightwell in the heart of the building. On the fifth floor, the multi-storey Library of Parliament is lined with wood panels and sculptural shells of copper recycled from the original roof.
