The C.M. Fines Building is a 20-storey office tower located at 2260 11th Avenue in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The building was completed in 1979.[1] [2] The building was designed by Joseph Pettick[3] and features unusual energy-efficient reflective windows containing gold dust, giving the building its distinctive colour.[4] The building houses the corporate offices of Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI). The building is named after Clarence Melvin Fines, who was a Provincial Finance Minister in the 1940s and 50s and played a major role in establishing SGI.[5] From 1979 until 1988, it was the tallest building in Regina.
The C.M. Fines Building has had a history of structural problems. In 2004, water damage to the building's post-tension cables necessitated a $3.9 million repair.[6] In 2010, the building was evacuated when high winds damaged a piece of the exterior metal cladding, raising concerns that the glass panels, held in place by the metal, would come loose.[7] In 2012, the Government of Saskatchewan released a tender for a new office building for SGI, with the intention to sell the C.M. Fines Building.[8]
