The Jeanne Mance Building is the second tallest tower on the Tunney’s Pasture campus, rising 80.5m above the ground.

Unlike the other two towers on site; the Brooke Claxton Building acting as the main destination when arriving at Tunney’s Pasture, and the R.H. Coates Building offering a government presence along Scott Street, the Jeanne Mance Building seems to sit awkwardly on the site. With a new master plan for Tunney’s Pasture being implemented, hopefully the building will find its place in the broader campus. Precast concrete panels compose the exterior of the building, and their triangular profile adds depth to the facade.
