Parliament’s Centre Block isn’t just a building, it is an icon. Its sturdy stone façade is a symbol of Canadian democracy. But the current structure was built in 1920, and a lot can change in a century. Back then, Canada didn’t even have building codes, and climate control technology like air conditioning was still decades away from wide use. Bringing the historic building into the 21st century will be a big undertaking, and it is already well underway. �Ӱ�ԭ�� engineering graduates are part of the team that is revitalizing Centre Block so it can serve Canadians for the next hundred years—or even longer.
