The Government Center was the first public building to be erected over a federal highway. The exposed concrete building has a cubic temple-like design. On a floor area of around 44 m, there is an elevated "basement" containing technical and storage rooms. A smaller, glazed cube rises from there in the middle storeys and is topped off by a projecting section that is framed with concrete brise soleil. 

In use. In 2008, the building and site underwent a multimillion-dollar exterior renovation.
