Constructed to serve as the headquarters for the Cargill Grain Company, this eight storey office block was built at a cost of 14 million dollars. The building is constructed of reinforced concrete, with a rough cast concrete exterior.
At the time of construction the Cargill building was designed to be extremely energy efficient and featured triple-pane bronze-tinted glazing and low heat gain lighting.
The Cargill building features two indoor walkway tunnels that connect to Winnipeg’s Skywalk system, both tunnels were built in 1989-1990.
