Thought this was kind of neat:

This is the flagship and newest campus of the Nova Scotia Community College, built in phases over the last decade or so. It's interesting in that there are a bunch of different "green" technologies and prototypes built into the property. There's a large (if a bit bleak) bioswale on the site along with the green wall, solar/wind generators, etc. The things on the roof that look like antennas are actually wind turbines that rotate around a vertical axis, as is the double-helix-in-a-tube looking thing (with a solar panel on top). Most of the college's architecture and related engineering programs are at this campus and it acts as a sort of living lab. This is extra interesting because wind turbines are very difficult to build within most built up areas of HRM - this, and the Seaport Market can get away with it because they are on provincial and federal property, respectively, but any new turbines on land that falls under municipal jurisdiction have to be built 1000m from the nearest occupied building. The more conventional looking turbine in the background is also on college land. There are a few turbines scattered around built-up areas of the municipality but AFAIK they were all installed before the regulations came into effect.
