Gate Lodge Recapitalization: Gate Lodge is located at the Sussex entrance to Rideau Hall. It was built in the 1860s, and is currently used as multi-purpose, administrative space by the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General (OSGG). Gate Lodge is a two-storey, off-white octagonal building with two projecting, one-storey additions. The building features a painted white brick exterior, an eight-sided conical roof with a central chimney, arched windows and doors, and prominent keystones, some decorated with sculptural masks. The original, octagonal section of Gate Lodge was built between 1864 and 1867 to provide accommodation for the gatekeeper. Two sections were later added to the building’s west wing in 1938 and north wing in 1944. The building roof is beyond the end of its lifecycle and the exterior masonry is failing. The chimney of the building was demolished as it was noted structurally unsound. NCC is looking to fully rehabilitate the building to meet the current building standards with consideration of preserving its heritage appeal. This includes, but is not limited to:
Reconstruction of both brick chimneys;
Rehabilitation of the exterior walls, brick masonry, windows and doors;
Full interior renovations and restoration; barrier-free access, universal access;
Foundations, floors and crawl space rehabilitation, and groundwater management;
New mechanical and electrical systems;
Civil connection at Princess Avenue;
Full demo and abatement of designated substances.
