Édifice André-Laurendeau
Édifice André-Laurendeau is an eleven-storey office tower located at 1050, rue des Parlementaires in Quebec City, Quebec.
The Beaux-Arts structure was built between 1935 and 1937, designed by Lacroix, Drouin and Bergeron, and is the property of the Crown in Right of Quebec. In 1980, it was named in honour of journalist and politician André Laurendeau.
Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec
After the fire at Bois de Coulonge in 1966, the office of the lieutenant governor of Quebec was moved to a suite of reception rooms, offices, and support facilities in the Édifice André-Laurendeau. The viceregal suite is the site of swearing-in ceremonies for Cabinet ministers and the granting of royal assent, and where the lieutenant governor receives his or her premier. Whenever the Canadian sovereign and/or other members of the royal family are in the provincial capital, he or she resides, or they reside, at a hotel.
