Barrister House is situated in the heart of Ottawa, immediately opposite the Central Court and Registry Office. It is a pleasant walk to the Rideau Centre, Sparks Street Mall and Parliament Hill. Ten floors of office space and five floors of parking provide for the needs of both tenants and their clients. A typical floor is around 9,400 sf. The systems in Barrister House were designed for effectiveness and energy conservation. Continuous monitoring ensures that the heating, cooling and ventilation systems are properly adjusted for comfort and energy efficiency. All light fixtures are recessed and equipped with prismatic acrylic lenses. The building's functions have been divided so that the parking levels are serviced by a separate elevator. The office portion is serviced by two high-speed elevators.
