Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Its recent adaptation is the accommodation of the Senate of Canada while the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings is under rehabilitation. Located across from the Château Laurier and beside the Rideau Canal, this building is hard to miss as a part of Canada's Parliamentary Precinct.
Transitioning from a public building, to a private building, and now a public building with private areas, the Senate of Canada uses this space not only to continue its operations, but also to continue to involve the people in the growth of Canada. The new home of the Senate is vastly different in its architectural forms, aesthetics, and progression through the main public spaces. Thus, in comparison to the previous home of the Senate, the current Senate of Canada Building is an adaptable space that is a better site for the Senate because of its mesh of heritage and modern components.
Watch the video below detailing the building's recent transformation.
