It looks pretty complete on the outside, but I do believe there is still interior work going on. At least early this week, no one had moved in yet.

An article on the completed project, sounds awesome.

I'd love to see that place.  Maybe they'll let the public have a look during Doors Open in the fall.

There are some interior pictures floating around on Twitter from the last couple of days. Looking but no luck so far.

That shows inside very briefly but nothing major.


Here is also a sign they recently added to it:

My favourite line: '"I am just fascinated at how these old buildings have been repurposed," said Johnston. "Isn't it terrific that we didn't tear them down?"'

Didn't they tear down a couple buildings at the Tannery?

Indeed they did - four buildings came down to make way for parking lots.  Fortunately the hide house and the smokestack were saved.

The WR_Record article was not clear about where Dr. Johnston will be working? 

Is he going to be located here in the Deloitte offices in Kitchener or elsewhere? Ottawa? Toronto? 

Governor-General Johnston has always been a future person going back to his days as Principal of McGill, he is an amazing asset for Deloitte.

I do believe he's planning to keep his home in the Ottawa area rather than relocating back to Waterloo Region.

While David Johnston was running the university, Dr. Sharon Johnston was running a horse farm, Chatterbox Farm, in Heidelberg. They must have sold it when they got the call to move back to Ottawa, so they probably aren't moving back to the farm. But who knows...

I believe they kept their Waterloo region homestead while serving at Rideau Hall.
