The Moore Barn - Integrated Project Work (2017)

The Moore Barn is one of three main buildings located on Moore Farm which is a designated Federal Heritage Site owned by the National Capital Commission (NCC). The historic, architectural and environmental values associated with the barn and site as a whole, are what makes it so significant and important. The Moore Farm’s Barn serves as supplementary space for events and activities and is readily recognizable due to its size and height. The randomly-assorted stone wall and diagonal wood panel superstructure quickly distinguish the timber frame structure and depicts a sharp contrast between heavy and light construction. Occupants are overseen by seven heavy, timber trusses that seemingly float over its vast interior floor space. The Barn is located within the Moore’s Farm site, along Alexandre-Tache Boulevard, Gatineau, just east of the former stable. This is the Integrated Project Dossier compiled by a group of undergraduate students of the Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Program (Engineers and architects) at Carleton University for the CIVE3207 (ARCN4100) Historic Site Recording and Assessment course in 2017.
