Nunatsiavut Assembly Building

The Nunatsiavut Assembly Building is a government facility in Hopedale that houses parliamentary chambers, administrative offices, and meeting rooms for regional governance. It also provides spaces for community gatherings and court proceedings.

The building was completed in 2012, creating the first permanent home for the Nunatsiavut Assembly after years of temporary locations. This construction marked an important milestone in establishing stable governance structures in the region.

The building reflects Inuit traditions through its design, featuring a dome shape and labradorite flooring throughout the interior. Visitors can experience these cultural details when walking through the spaces.

The facility is located on Nanuk Hill near Amos Comenius Memorial School and is easy to find in town. Visitors should keep in mind that access and visiting opportunities may be limited depending on government activities.

The building blends Inuit and Moravian architectural styles in an unusual way, with a front dome and a rear section featuring windows and a steeple. A green Inukshuk sits atop the steeple, visibly connecting local traditions to this modern administrative facility.
