The National Assembly Building stands at Melhado Parade on Independence Plaza in Belmopan, flanked by two three-storey office buildings. Its design draws on Pre-Columbian Maya forms and Brutalist architecture. It houses the House of Representatives and the Senate, which meet in chambers within the complex.

The building opened on 9 October 1970 with a joint sitting of both houses, replacing the Assembly Chamber in Belize City.

Major renovations began in 2024, financed partly by a US$792,125.30 grant from Taiwan, and the legislature moved to the George Price Centre from August to September 2024.
