Queen Elizabeth II Building, Art Deco government building at Legislature grounds, Edmonton, Canada
The Queen Elizabeth II Building stands eleven stories tall, constructed with Manitoba Tyndal Stone and features geometric shapes in its architectural design.
The structure, completed in 1958, initially served as the Government of Canada's primary federal office building for Western Canadian operations.
The building displays carved shields representing each Canadian province above its east entrance, reflecting the national heritage through architectural elements.
The main floor remains open to the public and includes a visitor center, while the outdoor plaza allows photography sessions without prior reservations.
A two-story glass pavilion added during renovations achieved LEED Gold certification for sustainable design and improved energy efficiency.
