Terrasses de la Chaudière

Terrasses de la Chaudière, Federal office complex in Gatineau, Canada.

Terrasses de la Chaudière is a complex of three federal office towers in Gatineau, Quebec, built in 1978 by developer Robert Campeau and leased to the government. Its North Building rises 30 floors to 124 metres, making it the second-tallest building in the National Capital Region after the 143-metre Claridge Icon. The complex also contains a shopping complex, a hotel and a convention centre.

The project began in 1978 as part of a federal initiative to expand Canadian government presence on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River. This expansion was part of a wider strategy to distribute administrative functions across provincial boundaries.

The complex takes its name from the Chaudière Falls in the Ottawa River. Its three towers hold about 6,500 federal office workers, and the buildings house the headquarters of Canadian Heritage, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission and the Canadian Transportation Agency.

The complex is easily reached by public transit and sits within walking distance of bus stations in downtown Gatineau. Keep in mind that some areas require security clearance, so it's helpful to check in advance about visitor access to different sections.

The complex was built by developer Robert Campeau and then leased to the federal government, an arrangement criticised because of his close ties to the governing Liberals. The three towers now hold about 6,500 federal office workers.
