Northwest Territories Legislative Building, Government building in Yellowknife, Canada
The Northwest Territories Legislative Building stands two stories tall on Frame Lake, featuring circular halls and zinc panels throughout its postmodern structure.
Queen Elizabeth II inaugurated this legislative center in 1994, marking a new chapter for territorial governance after previous locations in Ottawa and Fort Garry.
The circular chamber design reflects the consensus government approach, where nineteen independent members make decisions through collective discussion rather than party politics.
Visitors can explore the assembly chamber, examine Northern artworks, and attend public events in the great hall at 4517 48th Street in Yellowknife.
The building incorporates natural ventilation systems with individual office controls and features maple ceilings that complement the surrounding northern landscape.
