From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The R.H. Coats Building is a government office building located in the Tunney's Pasture government office complex in Ottawa. It is situated near the intersection of Holland Avenue and Scott Street, beside the Ottawa Transitway. It houses Statistics Canada offices and a branch of the Alterna Savings bank, formerly the CS CO-OP.
It was completed in 1976 and is 26 stories and 99 m in height, making it the tallest tower in Tunney's Pasture. Peregrine falcons are sometimes sighted on the top of this building.
The building was named after Canada's first Dominion Statistician, Robert H. Coats (1874-1960).
