Maison de Radio-Canada, Broadcasting headquarters in Centre-Sud district, Montreal, Canada.
Description
Maison de Radio-Canada is a 105-meter-tall concrete building with 24 floors located in the Centre-Sud district that functions as the main broadcasting facility for television and radio production. The structure houses studios, offices, and production spaces that operate the country's national media services.
History
The building was constructed in 1973 on the former site of the Faubourg-à-m'lasse neighborhood, marking a turning point for Canadian broadcast infrastructure. Its creation represented the shift toward modern media production facilities in the country.
Culture
The building serves as the production hub for French and English-language content that shapes Canadian media and connects communities across the country. Its programming has become woven into the daily lives of viewers and listeners across multiple generations.
Practical
The facility is located near Beaudry metro station along René-Lévesque Boulevard East and is served by several bus routes in the area. Keep in mind that the site is primarily used for broadcasting operations, so visitor access may be limited to specific areas or guided visits.

A central sky-lit atrium runs through all floors of the building, flooding the interior with natural light and creating an unexpected spaciousness in the work areas. This design feature was quite progressive for a broadcasting facility when it was first completed.
