The Sir John Carling Building is already gone. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada wanted to build a visitor's centre and a museum on the grounds of the Carling Building.

If the Civic Hospital takes over The Farm, the following buildings will be demolished or relocated:
The K.W. Neatby Building.
A nearby CFIA Laboratory.
A greenhouse.
The entire Dominion Observatory Campus because the Civic does not want "irregularly-shaped" parcels of land.
The cafeteria, or West Annex. (See David Reevely Ottawa Citizen article, March 5, 2018.)
